The Oath: A Surgeon Under Fire Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Khassan Baiev wrote absolutely amazing book about his life growing up in the former Soviet Union and later working as a surgeon under extremely harsh wartime conditions in the breakaway republic of Chechnya. His character represents the very best of such human qualities as integrity, compassion, and selfless devotion to duty, which contrast so sharply with all the ugliness of the violent armed conflict between Russia and Chechnya. His life is an extremely powerful story, and I am firmly convinced that his book should be displayed on the front shelves of all bookstores in America. Khassan Baiev's character represents what all of us should strive for - maybe then we have a chance to make our world a better place to live.

Over a Thousand Hills I Walk With You Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OVER A THOUSAND HILLS I WALK WITH YOU is the horrifying novel that is based on a true story about the 1994 Rwandan genocide. This was a subject that I didn't know too much about until I read this book, which made me realize how horrible events such as this one are still happening in today's society. How we could let this happen is beyond me.
The book is written by the adoptive mother of Jeanne to tell the story that is often called the modern day Holocaust. As with the original Holocaust, many children were left to fight for themselves and try and find a new way to survive. Jeanne's family is killed and she is left to fend for herself, and the book is about how she achieves that.
When you read this book you aren't on the basic level of thinking. You are much beyond that. The imagery in this book is not good, because in no way do you want this to happen to anyone, but at the same time it's very real. I felt as if I were standing the fields and forests and homes of these people and was surrounded by people fighting for their lives.
