Why read it?
1 author picked Life Can Be Cruel as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
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.
