If it's Howard Fast's Immigrants you're talking about
and you plan to scan more of the saga, check the
collection first. One of them, I think the second one,
is already in the collection. I think it's an
excellent idea to have the whole series. I did the one
that's there on request, and I learned a lot about
some events about which I didn't know, even though I
was a child during WWII.
