Why read it?
1 author picked Conquered, Not Defeated as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
In Europe it is a tradition to pass down from generation to generation the stories of survival during the German occupation of their countries. I have met some families that actually traveled to the United States to attend military reunions of the units who freed their homelands back in 1944-45.Ā

From Robert's list on war memoirs and what makes them special.
