Here's what I wrote after reading in 1983: "Another great. Technically fiction, yet based on the true events in Warsaw during the Nazi occupation of WWII. Special treatment given to the Jewish ghetto and to the brave men and women who lived therein. Why did the world let these things happen? ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

It was a time of crisis, a time of tragedy--and a time of transcendent courage and determination. Leon Uris's blazing novel is set in the midst of the ghetto uprising that defied Nazi tyranny, as the Jews of Warsaw boldly met Wehrmacht tanks with homemade weapons and bare fists. Here, painted on a canvas as broad as its subject matter, is the compelling of one of the most heroic struggles of modern times. No library descriptions found. |

The novel takes its name from the address of the main resistance bunker in the Warsaw Ghetto, located at 18 Mila Street. The story follows a group of Jewish resistance fighters who are determined to resist the Nazis and their efforts to exterminate the Jewish population.
"Mila 18" provides a fictionalized account of the events that occurred during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943. The main characters in the novel are based on real people who participated in the resistance, and Uris's narrative weaves together their individual stories to create a powerful and poignant depiction of the Jewish struggle against Nazi oppression.
The book explores themes of heroism, sacrifice, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of extreme adversity. It highlights the courage and determination of the Jewish fighters, who despite being vastly outnumbered and outgunned, refused to surrender and fought for their freedom.
"Mila 18" is considered one of Leon Uris's most significant works, alongside his other well-known novel, "Exodus." It has been praised for its historical accuracy, compelling characters, and gripping storytelling. The novel provides a poignant portrayal of the Holocaust and serves as a reminder of the horrors that occurred during that dark period in history. ( )
