Trade Paperback. The Walls Came Tumbling Down is one of the most unusual memoirs I’ve read. Dutch resistance fighters imprisoned by Nazis and condemned to death are released by Russian liberators at the end of World War II. The prisoners, due to an act of humanity, find themselves trapped behind Russian lines. This book is the story of their determination to find their way home using what remains of their virtue, courage and resourcefulness. This book, both a history and a personal memoir, is incredibly moving. This is a book that restores my faith in human nature. It is simply written but hard to put down.
