 Penetrating insight into the Winter War Sep 20, 2008
By Father of the Furriest
Excellent story set against the turmoil of war, the comparatively little known conflict between Finland and Soviet Russia in 1939. Frederick Brogger has done research in depth to get a real feeling for the oustanding bravery of the Finns in their struggle to withstand the predator Russians. Against this background he tells a heartfelt story of romance as a young American is caught up in events which test him to the ultimate. Enthralling story, highly recommended.

Anti Russian Sep 05, 2008
By Lawrence Goodhill
No one can put this book down. The research that has gone into this book is amazing and the contemporary relevance is striking what with the main setting of this book being the Soviet invasion of Finland in 1939 with the Russians occupying parts of Georgia only weeks ago. The characters, those Finnish, American, British and German combined with the heroic defense of Finland make this a book that must be read.

Great Blend of Fact and Fiction Sep 16, 2008
By Herbert V. Davis
Journey into Winter provide insight into a part of hisotry with wich I was not familiar. The blend of the story line around the facts of the war mad for very interesting reading. The autor had an ability to write in a way that I could actually visualize Finaland in the winter--bitter cold weather, forzen lakes, and deep snows. Excellent reading.

"Journey" on the Big Screen!! Aug 29, 2008
By Shelly J. Cox
"Virgina Gal"
Mr.Brogger made his characters come alive! Their feelings and interactions were so real and believable. I could almost feel the cold of the snows of Finland. I did not realize the events within Finland had such an impact on WWII. I recommend this book to all, especially those interested in history.
Mr. Brogger's story would produce a magnificent movie: Brad as Jonathan, Joli as Lanya, and, maybe even, Jennifer as Lucy..I can see it!!

Journey Into Winter Aug 21, 2008
By J. Brouse
"molly 's dad"
This book reminded me of my youth when, in the l940's, I watched a movie called, The SKI PATROL", the story of brave Fins using their winter whites to ski and fight in the mountains against the dark suited Russian soldiers. I will never forget how the Finish rifleman fought on skis and defeated hoards of Russian soldiers. This book also adds romantic images to accompany the military and political scenes and times. A wonderful read. I highly recommend it.
