Ken Scott Author Of Life Can Be Cruel: The Story Of A German P.O.W. In Russia
Ken Scott
Author

One of the most heartwrenching stories of POW books you will ever read. This time the author gives an honest yet horrific account of German POWs at the hands of their Russian captors after WWII. Not a book for the faint-hearted and has no happy endings. A story about how cruel mankind can be.

From Ken's list on WWII prisoner of war.
