So far, my book is horribly boring. I was thinking about throwing it off a cliff, but I didn't for two reasons. One, my brother said it would get much better, and, of course, it was the library's book. So far, it's about some Russian people with crazy weird and long names and they have to protect this place called the Volga River. The main battle is The Battle For Stalingrad.

I really can't tell you alot about the book because I am only on page 30 I believe, the back of the book goes as follows: "The bloodiest battle in the history of warfare. Perhaps the single most important engagement of World War II. A major loss for the Axis powers, the battle for Stalingrad signaled the beggining of the end for the third Reich of Adolf Hitler. During the five years William Craig spent researching the battle for Stalingrad, he traveled extensively on three continents, studying documents and interviewing hundreds of survivors, both military and civilian. This unique account is their story, and the story of the nearly two million men and women who lost their lives in the horrid battle."

That is why I am reading this book. To read those stories and remember the names of those who past on defending their country.
