Co za książka? Dla mnie 10/10. Być może znajdują się w niej jakieś przekłamania w tłumaczeniu? Być może jest też znajdują się w niej pewne niedociągnięcia merytoryczne? Być może to i prawda?

"She died in my arms saying, “I don’t want to die.” That is what death is like. It doesn't matter what uniforms the soldiers are wearing. It doesn't matter how good the weapons are. I thought if everyone could see what I saw, we could never have war anymore." Children in books about serious matters ...
