This was well written, but I had a hard time sympathizing with the protagonist. I know it is non-fiction, bu t the author opened with her cheating on her husband, with no patriotic motivation and entrapping a guy to cover her pregnancy. . Then there is the way she treats her children. Interesting as a possible explanation for what motivates such people

Interesante saber un poco más sobre esa época y la perspectiva de los judíos.

La realidad es que apenas llegaron a luchar, prácticamente estuvieron al final de la II guerra mundial. Cuando los dejaron ir, ya que no dependía de ellos, pertenecían en cierta manera al ejército del Reino Unido.

Pese a que casi no entraron en batalla, su labor después de la guerra fue más importante que la de luchar. Ayudaron a los judíos que habían sobrevivido, para que pudieran ir a Israel. No fue una tarea fácil, ya que no los dejaban viajar libremente.

Y hay una parte pequeña dedicada a la venganza, que me ha sabido a poco.

Great start but I thought it bogged down a little at the end. Still I learned a lot about a bad incident in CA. History which I knew nothing about.
