Ms. Tec's book reads more like a social history of the Bielski Brothers and their partisan brigade, which was one of the most significant Jewish resistant efforts against Nazi Germany during WWII. She organized her prose thematically in a scholarly approach, rather than in a flowing narrative. Arguing that the success of the Bielski partisans, as the rescue organization came to be known, would have been unthinkable without the vision of one man, Tec offers penetrating insight into the group's commander, Tuvia Bielski. Tec brings to light the untold story of Bielski's struggle as a partisan who lost his parents, wife, and two brothers to the Nazis, yet never wavered in his conviction that it was more important to save one Jew than to kill twenty Germans. I recently saw the film "Defiance," directed by Edward Zwick and starring Daniel Craig as Tuvia Bielski. I had read Nechama Tec's book, Defiance: The Bielski Partisans last year and was anxious to see the movie. I was not disappointed, as the film inspired and touched me deeply, just as the book had, although, obviously, in a different medium and in a different manner.
