Library Journal Reviews : LJ Reviews 1987 November #1 This chronological memoir by an ex-French soldier of his four-year captivity by the Nazis is truly a ``nightmare.'' Letulle, a postwar U.S. resident, writes in a simple, rough, yet extremely compelling style. His account is accurately described in Amos Perlmutter's foreword as ``Kafkaesque in recitation of the horrors visited on the victims of Nazi terror.'' It is a grim tale of incredible sufferingsuffocatingly crowded boxcars, cruel working conditions, endless despair, brutality, starvation, etc. The ultimate nightmare is mentalas a hospital assistant Letulle witnessed horrifying human experiments. If further evidence of wartime bestiality is needed, it will be found to a shocking extent in Letulle's recollections of his many places of confinement. Clifton E.
