"Karlin's deft melding of disparate narratives will stand as a unique and valuable addition to the literature of the Holocaust." --Washington Post Book World"A haunting meditation." --Publishers Weekly"For the sake of humanity, we need to read Wayne Karlin on war and peace. Studying the holocaust of his immediate forebears and the Viet Nam/American War of his own experience, he has written a life-saving book." --Maxine Hong Kingston"A gem of a book burnished with poetic language and images." --Baltimore Jewish Times
