She also personifies the womanly side of an overwhelmingly masculine warrior culture.

Whatever peace he has made with this town seems purchased at the cost of constant vigilance. After all, for many of Krakauer's forebears, the next stop was Auschwitz, and the mute remains of this notorious Nazi death camp are a mere hour's drive away. Krakauer has channeled over a half century of pain, survivors' ...
