With the publication of this book we should be able to get to the bottom of what Maxim was arguing about. Let's see if he was right all along.
Are you referring to Maxim's opinion that Estonian women provided sex for German soldiers during WW II?
Everyone can relax. Maxim has yet to say something that has a connection to reality so his themes are unlikely to shape this book in any respect.
Paul Goble recommends the book highly. That should be sufficient to order a copy with confidence, sight-unseen. With that, we can also be certain that it's written in better English than the article about it. I'm taken aback by awkward phrases such as,
"The book consists of 15 life stories of Estonian women after the Second World War, divided into three parts, five each by women who fled to the West..."
Such prose is unacceptable because it has to be read twice and, even then, the meaning has to be guessed at.
