Wow. What a book. As with many resistance stories, especially those of women, I hadn't heard of these women before. What an amazing story. This book is well written and flows really well, which for a non-fiction book, is not easy to do! I do have two complaints. First, this book needs a map or two. I have a faint inkling where Amsterdam is in The Netherlands but other than that I have no idea about the city itself or the geography of the rest is the country, so a map or two is definitely needed. Second, citing sources. This is the main reason this book is not dive stars. It's a non-fiction book! You have to cite your sources and not just a bibliography in the book! It was so incredibly frustrating to see stuff in this book but then I have NO idea where it came from.
