A Must Read
Rating  (5)
Date: 2008-08-15
A superbly written, easily read, fact filled story about the beginning of WWII in Russia and the invasion's impact on a newly married couple and their Russion society. The author is the son of the main charactors and touchingly relates this saga balancing personal and at times heart wrenching stories of the German invasion, his parents love story and Russian society. This is not just another WWII story nor just another love story. It is a unique and facinating weave of both binding the reader though empathy. A Must Read. J. Weingarten, MD

Beware the Wolves: A Soviet WWII Story
Rating (5)

I agree with what the other reviewers have said. I really enjoyed the book and I was curious how much was true and how much was fiction so I emailed the Mr. Moss and asked him. Below is his reply:
I'm very pleased that you liked the book.
To answer your question about the characters, most of the characters are
based on information I received from my parents. Their names are made up. For example, Majors Mann and Raake characters were real and Misha and Evgeniy were based on soldiers similar to those my father had talked about over the years.
P.S. I did delete some of the email because I did not want to spoil the story for those who have not read the book. I highly recommend this book!

Beware the Wolves is a tragic yet beautiful story based on a real life experience that was touchingly written with sincerity and devotion to its characters. It depicts the horrors of World War II and most importantly the strength and power of love. It is an inspiring story that I contemplate months after having read it and strongly recommend to all.

Few books have ever created the emotional impact for me as BEWARE THE WOLVES: a Soviet WWII Story. Being Jewish and having ancestors exterminated during Hitler's regime, I was reluctant to read more on this subject but my husband persuaded me. All of the information seemed historically accurate yet phrased in the most humane way possible. The author's description of events, characters and feelings were so authentic and compelling, I could not stop reading. This is one of the best ways to study the most horrific period of modern times. What survived was the spirit of love and the family. I did not want the book to end. Bring on the sequel, Mr. Moss!

GREAT STORY! History from the perspective of those who lived it!
Rating (5)
Date: 2006-07-13
A compelling book based on the lives of the author's parents as a young married couple in Eastern Europe in the early 1940's, Beware the Wolves, a Soviet WWII Story reflects the love and determination of a young family. This historic novel from a soviet perspective conveys the perils of war and the enduring love of family separated by war. It touches the heart and soul of the reader in a way few books do. It is a reminder that with determination, a little luck, and friends in high places the human spirit can triumph over adversity. It is history from the perspective of those who lived it! Not a book filled with facts and statistics, but a story of love, courage, and determination in the face of interminable odds. A Must Read!
