...HOLOCAUST, by Nora Levin; and WHILE SIX MILLION DIED, by Arthur D. Morse. More grim evidence that the Allies wrote off the Jews as war casualties after having failed to face their plight in the '30s.

Sharpshooters with high-powered scopes hunkered down behind battlements in "secure" sections of the Citadel wall, squeezing off occasional rounds at moving targets. As they waited out the weather for air cover or rested for their next push, the unshaven, dust-covered Marines sipped endless cups of powdered coffee, occasionally breaking out a liberated magnum of French champagne to accompany their C rations...
