Has anyone read it, and how many stars?

An excellent, and well-written, book for anyone with the slightest interest in
either history in general or gliding/soaring in particular. As with all
"field-of-battle" memoirs (read the book!), it leaves all insightful readers
with a powerful sense of how huge a factor in survival is fortune. In Volmar's
case, "simply" escaping the (front lines, no less!) meat-grinder of the
Russian front in 1945 with his life is perhaps the most obvious example.
