Description

An international sensation, A Stranger to Myself: The Inhumanity of War: Russia, 1941 - 1944 is the haunting memoir of a young German soldier on the Russian Front during World War II. Willy Peter Reese was twenty years old when he found himself marching through Russia with orders to take no prisoners. Three years later he was dead.

Bearing witness to - and participating in - the atrocities of war, Reese recorded his reflections in his diary. His dream was to become a writer and the result is a youthful, intelligent, searching and illuminating perspective on life on the Eastern Front.
