De: Leon Uris

Narrado por: David deVries

It was a time of crisis, a time of tragedy - and a time of transcendent courage and determination. Leon Uris’s blazing novel is set in the midst of the ghetto uprising that defied Nazi tyranny, as the Jews of Warsaw boldly met Wehrmacht tanks with homemade weapons and bare fists. Here, painted on a canvas as broad as its subject matter, is the compelling story of one of the most heroic struggles of modern times.

An Amazing Story.

Too bad that the world can be such an awful place that this amazing story of courage and perserverance even has to be told (albeit through fictionalized characters). Yet, the worst in some people always seems to bring out the greatness in others. So very sad that the world has all but forgotten both the Nazi's hideous destruction of the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto and the heroic effort of the Jews to stop tyranny while the rest of the world silently looked on and chose to wilfully ignore what was happening until the end of the war. As has been said, those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. Therefore, it is no surprise to see the rise again in Europe of the way too far right and it's associated anti-Semitism. For this reason alone books like this one from Leon Uris, as well as his Exodus should be assigned reading in all middle school classes throughout the world; but especially in Europe where they just never seem to learn.

courage personified

Those who find such fault in society should read this story of suffering and courage

story incredible! narration awesome!

wow! what a story! loved everything about it (except what the Germans did to the Jews!)

Fantastic

It is important to read and study the history and historical fiction of WWII. We MUST NEVER forget how humanity fought evil fir freedom and dignity.

Brilliance in its truest form

When you feel the pain of the characters, you know the writing is superb . It’s the pain brought upon the Jews by the nazis that tear at the readers heart, and the fear that mankind can possess such evil inclinations.

fascism and it's consequences of hate.

A praise of the Holocaust victims, their struggle to survive and to resist the actions of the fascist birds, and the complicit indifference of others.

Astoundingly good

I’m a new Uris groupie. I’ve read Exodus and The Han. Started QB III . But this one is simply stunning. I was riveted. I bought audible and kindle versions so I could keep reading / listening throughout the day. Just like the Exodus & The Haj I’m now vested in these characters. Andrè … I will miss you until I read / listen to this again!

This is a story that should be in all high schools

This story of what can happen if you do not speak up and stand up is what we need in our high schools. You want anti-bullying then this is the ultimate story. The Jews stood up against the strongest army the world had seen and they used team work and smarts to fight the worst bully the world has ever seen. Well Told. The audio is great.

One of the best stories from WWII

One of the best books I have ever read about WWII and the struggle of the Jews. This book was so good I had it as a requirement of all my seniors

Best book I have ever listened to!!!!

Absolutely the best book ever! Everyone should read this book once you get into it your not going to want to stop.
