Leon Uris ranks at the top in my opinion as a brilliantly gifted writer. He captures the historical drama of WWII and Nazi Germany, along with the torment and never-ending struggle of being Jewish in Warsaw, Poland. This is indeed a fictionalized account of that time period, but his characters probably do have counterparts in real life. Upon reading this book, one has to admire the courage, determination, endurance and raw guts of these people. You may have read about life in the Warsaw ghettos, but this book takes you into their homes, introduces you to people who face poverty, starvation, sickness, and terror on a daily basis. The author gives a first-hand account of Jews in the ghetto being constantly intimidated and threatened by the Nazis and how they manage to survive in such horrible conditions. Reading this will horrify you one minute, then make you cringe and then touch your heart as no other book you may have read in a long time. I highly recommend this as Leon Uris always delivers fascinating and emotionally charged books, leaving you spell-bound and unable to put the book down.

The recent film, "In Darkness," brought me back to my memory of reading "Mila 18" in my 20s. It was my first experience of learning about the individual horrors of WWII because Uris took me right into the lives of families and heroes of the Warsaw Ghetto. The thought of creating a life in the sewers and staging battles from there was one of the shocks of the book since I'd not learned of that in my classes in high school and college that addressed WWII. Nor had I ever learned about the resisters, their bravery, cunning and sacrifices. It is a difficult book to read from the emotional perspective, but the experience of stepping in to this world of courage and cruelty, fictionalized by Uris but based on real people and events, is highly recommended.
