Recommendable

I picked this up in an airport bookstore because the title interested me. It is a worthy read just to learn of these events. It's pretty much a chronicle of events...until you get to the Postscript and Afterword sections where the author expresses his thoughts and poses a number of worthwhile questions to ponder about how we treat people when we are in life and nation-threatening conflicts, and we don't know who we can trust.
