Leon Uris is a writer I have come across recently. He usually writes books which has a historical background. Mila 18 is against the background of the Jewish uprising in Warsaw in the World War II against the Nazis. Though ultimately the Germans crush the uprising, you cannot help been moved by the heroic resistance put by the Jews who were outnumbered and who fought to the last man.
I would recommend this book for people who would like to know the extent of the atrocities been committed by the Nazis during the Second World war. This book in way would help us to understand why the State of Israel got created.
