Zaidy’s War: Four Armies, Three Continents, Two Brothers. One Man’s Impossible Story of Endurance By Martin Bodek (Book Review #1530)

‘Zaidy’s War’ is a memoir about Benzion Malik and how he ends up in the Romanian Army at age 21. You get to read his life from 1939 and how he is still stuck in the army till 1945.

Benzion serves three different armies and goes through a lot of abuse and labor. You truly feel everything he describes as you read more and more about his life. His struggles increase, and his hardship escalates; however, his spirit never breaks.

The memoir is written well, and you can see the author has tried to include every account, ensuring nothing is missed. I appreciated the honesty and how the author kept his principles intact. It is very hard to be this way when you have seen this much.

I recommend this book to memoir readers.
