[quote=Anonymous]The winds of war is really good but definitely more focused on the human impact. I also really liked city of thieves about the siege of stalingrad, but again its literature and more focused on the human story but has a lot of excitement. (Its about 2 soviets who were guilty of things like ration card violations given a chance to escape execution by stealing a dozen eggs for a military commander’s kid’s birthday cake...so they are sneaking in and out of the battle lines and resistence.). There’s definitely some discussion of rape as well as genocide—one of the main characters is Jewish and there’s a part where they are captured by the nazis—so assess whether it’s appropriate for an 8th grader. Also a ton of swearing. [/quote]
