Why read it?
1 author picked Inge's War as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
We hear a lot about the wars of soldiers and spies, but much less about the lives of ordinary people. In this book, O’Donnell pieces together the story of her grandmother’s life as a young woman in Germany before and during the war.

A reminder that for many people in Europe, the war was something that happened to them, rather than something they did.
From Robert's list on secret wartime histories around WW2.
