- Who it's for
- For readers of literary reportage, and for anyone interested in Europe after 1945 as seen from the side of ordinary Germans. It is a book about hatred, guilt and the way the victors looked at the defeated.
- Why people still read it
- The publisher notes that these reports are still regarded as a model of literary journalism, and that Dagerman stepped away from the black-and-white picture the international press was giving at the time.

Why we only look at used copies
In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
