RaveThe Christian Science Monitor...[a] riveting, important book ... An Iron Wind is the most bracing and unsparing dissection of the subject to appear in many years ... This is a fiercely unsettling book, demonstrating in every page the undiminished power of World War II to bring fundamental certainties into question ... This is a book about how people behave when a kind of moral plague sweeps through their world: some turn away from the afflicted, others hoard medicine for themselves, a precious few risk everything to render aid. It's a gripping performance.
