Review:It is surprising that a book about which you already know the outcome can still be so intriguing, but Warnings Unheeded is extremely so. The book was well written, highly detailed and extremely thoroughly researched. He brings to life stories that I had read about in the past, but never felt from the victim's point of view.

Review:This book was good. It seem such a real account of day to day trying to survive. My single disappointment was his pleasure in making fun of the Germans ...When after liberation he was "in charge" and during rank would make them to things to make himself feel better. I felt that he did it exactly what they did.. took their past experience to try to hurt them. Sometimes no matter how hard it is you just have to let go. Read more

Review:Part way through reading, it is more succinct in some ways than Willard Sterne Randall, Benedict Arnold: Patriot and Traitor (1990)
There are some points of information in Philbrick that did not appear in Randall, but there is material in Randall that's not in Philbrick.
There is more detail in Randall in some aspects.
