About this listen
If you only listen to one book about what it felt like to be present during the worst time in modern human history, a time when your life could be snuffed out for having the mere thought of opposition against the Nazi regime, this should be the book. It is told by survivors and by one of the greatest survivors of them all, Jan Wiener.

"Jan Wiener's fascinating, well-documented book tells of the heroic exploits of various Czech men and women, most of whom paid for their resistance with their lives. Above all it gives a detailed, documented account of the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, the most gruesome of the Nazi murderers, by Czech resisters parachuted from London but aided in their task by the Czech underground." (William L. Shirer, author of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich)
Mr Kamish, in this reading at least, has a penchant for trailing his voice to a near-whisper on the last few words of every other sentence - a habit so aurally irritating that I couldn't bear to listen for any longer than ten, or so, minutes. A perfect example of how the wrong choice of voice-artiste can wholly ruin the 'audible' experience of an otherwise compelling work.
I just hope I can get a refund of this purchase.
