Saya belum membaca buku tersebut.Akan tetapi, saya tahu kisah perjuangan Suriani Abdullah, sejak muda (dalam perjuangan anti-Jepun) dan dalam memimpin Rejimen ke-10 adalah hebat.Beliau pernah memimpin Rejimen ke-10,ketika suaminya Abdullah C.D. jatuh sakit. Di samping itu, kisah percintaan beliau dengan Abdullah C.D juga hebat (saya tidak tahu adakah hal ini ada diceritakan dalam buku tersebut).
saya baru habis baca Bab 2 yang meceritakan pengalamannya dalam zaman Perang Anti-Jepun di mana beliau bawa pistol sebagai kader bawah tanah PKM disekitar Ipoh dan Tanjung Tualang. Ini sudahpun cukup hebat bagi seorang gadis yang baru berumur 18-19.
