Narration Toward Books Mila 18

It was a time of crisis, a time of tragedy and a time of transcendent courage and determination. Leon Uris's 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 story of one of the most heroic struggles of modern times.

Appraise Of Books Mila 18

I first read this book many many years ago but I had forgotten just how powerful it was. During a recent trip to Warsaw I was inspired to read it again. It meant a lot more to me this time as I was able to "see" places mentioned through the lens of my recent travels. It is a novel based on factual events but featuring imaginary characters. Uris did an amazing job making it read as though it was fact. I grew to deeply care for some of the charactors. I would highly recommend this book to anyone

I recently re-read Mila 18 while in Warsaw; of course, I went to Mila 18 and stood on the actual spot. I had first read the book when it came out in 1962. It was powerful then, even more so today. The most moving lines ... "For the first time I am proud of being a Jew" ... "you must survive and be part of the State of Israel" ... resonated with me as a Jew and as an author who has written about Jews. My grandparents lived near Warsaw; they left in the early 1900s; their families stayed and were

Mila 18 is a breathtaking account of the Warsaw ghetto uprising, by the Jewish population of Warsaw, against the plans of the Nazi regime to exterminate them.It is a great epic from the pen of one of the greatest novelists of the 20th century, Leon Uris.The Warsaw ghetto uprisings are an important symbol of the freedom and dignity of mankind and the ongoing struggle against totalitarianism and cruelty (particular that type of cruelty that is self righteously practiced by ideologues from the left

Ah, the benefit of age and experience. I read this book when it was first published in the 60s and thought it was wonderful. I see now that what I got from it was incredibly deep research into the story of the resistance of the Warsaw Ghetto. While that story is compelling and heartbreaking, I wonder if Mila 18 could even be classified today as a "novel." The characters are two dimensional and serve essentially as plot devices rather than as real people. Even in historical novels, character

Imagine being an Olympic soccer player, an officer in the Polish Army, and a loyal Pole who happens to be a Jew. The main character in this book,(which is based on the real life events of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising in the spring of 1942) is all of those. Andrei Androfski bravely leads his troops against the Germans while still an officer in the Polish Army. Once defeated by Germany however, he is made to live in the Warsaw ghetto along with hundreds of thousands of Jews from Poland and other

As far as I'm concerned, this should be required reading for every student of history. Clearly, an astonishing amount of research went into this book, but I think it should be said that Leon Uris also did an outstanding job of exploring the human psyche and its broad range of frailty, depravity, unimaginable courage, and nobility of character. There are, in fact, an abundance of characters in the book, so I found it helpful to list them on a notepad from the onset so that I wouldn't later find

Great novel. Leon Uris never dissapoints. I have read two of his books previously and they were great. Here, we are transported to Poland and the year is 1943 or therabouts. Hitler and his Nazi buddies have invaded Poland with his barbarous goal of exterminating the Jews. In order to tame them he comes up with the idea of recruiting some of their own to control the population. Alongside the Germans, they form the Jewish Civil Authority, Jewish Militia, and others whose work is to transmit the
