I am not very fond of books based on "war stories," as I always associate them with a bit of unidirectional progression. But my friend suggested this read, and I am glad to pick it up. This book is a drafting story set around the time of the Second World War, and it brings out a clear and real picture of what happens before, after, and during a war. This involves a story revolving around a "Scottish book" that was hidden in some cafes in Poland, and many influential people were in desperate search of it. It was created by gamesmanship or the groin of some mathematician, but it contained some of the deepest secrets, which made it valuable. The stroryline is gripping, and the introduction of characters is seamless, which makes it easier for a reader to associate with them. The most interesting part is the "layered secrets," which maintain the suspense until the end. The secret of the book, its significance, and why it was created hold a good grip on the readers.… (plus d'informations)

Who Has Buried the Dead is a fictional novel written by KGE Konkel. I had to remind myself multiple times while reading the book that it was indeed fiction as it reads like non-fiction. It is clear that the author did extensive research before writing this book. The book does have real events and real people surrounding World War II. The book is full of a cast of characters and their stories, and thankfully the author included this list of people in the beginning of the book as a helpful reminder of who each person was. The author writes about how WWII was not only fought on the front lines but with secrets. There’s a Scottish Book full of secrets that went missing and so many people are on the hunt for it. If found it could profoundly change the way we see history. The novel is captivating, engaging, and realistic. Full of scenes of espionage, conspiracy, and suspense. The book will have you questioning history- what is fact and what is fiction? Do we really know the truth? I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel.… (plus d'informations)

The characters in the story are well-described, and each one adds something important to the overall tale. Whether it's the math enthusiasts in the secret group or the spy agents trying to find the Scottish Book, the different characters make the story feel real and interesting. The author pays close attention to the little things, making it easy for readers who might not know much about wartime Europe to understand and feel a part of the historical events.

The story happens in Katyn, Poland. A secret group of math lovers met at a pub and worked on hard problems in a special book called the Scottish Book. When the Nazis invaded in 1939, the book disappeared, and this led to an exciting exploration of the people who used it. These folks had to run away to America and ended up getting involved in the Manhattan Project.

What makes the story strong is how it tells us about a part of history not many people know. It asks important questions about what was in the Scottish Book and why we don't hear about it much when we talk about World War II. The author does a great job jumping between different times, making a picture of events that keeps us really interested.… (plus d'informations)

A meticulously researched novel that reads like non-fiction. In this account of WWII, the book humanizes several of the historic characters, their involvement in battles, and espionage missions, as well as the Manhattan Project.
As I was reading the book, I kept checking that it was actually fiction, as the author recounts several real historical dates and people involved. It is extremely realistic and an interesting explanation of some of the mysteries of the war and its aftermath.
I found this to be an interesting exploration of the war and the secret of the Scottish Book.… (plus d'informations)
