WW2 from the viewpoint of a female Russian sniper
This book provides interesting background about World War 2 from the Russian side. The author, Kate Quinn, tells the story of a female Russian sniper in a fact-filled way while still making it an interesting and personal story about the main character. Also, this character is based on an actual person, which adds to the reality of the story. I would recommend this story to anyone seeking to get a wider understanding of WW2.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
