Soldiers of Salamis

I bought Soldiers of Salamis in RIK for $19.95. I thought the book was OK, but not great. Actually I was surprised they made a movie out of it.

One of the strange things is that in the movie the protagonist changes gender from male to female, but the movie works quite nicely.

The journalist goes after the story of Sanchez Mazas, one of the PR writers for Franco. But in the end s/he comes to the conclusion that the really story is all the dead young men and women who have not been recorded in history.
