With Mila 18 Uris turned his attention to the broad expanse of World War II, and specifically focused on one of the most incredible events of the past century: the Jewish rebellion against the Nazis in the Warsaw ghetto.
As Mila 18 begins, we're introduced to a number of characters in Warsaw on the eve of the Nazi invasion.
As with the best of Uris' books, Mila 18 (which refers to the address of the command bunker from which the Jews manage their fight) uses the detail of ordinary people's lives to describe historic drama.

If Uris really engaged in lengthy research before writing Mila 18, as he states on the title page, he had a pool of valuable information to draw on for a detailed descriptive account of the Jewish ghetto in Warsaw and more particularly of its inspirational final days.
Mila 18 suggests that the Polish underground army was antagonistic and openly anti-Semitic to the point of refusing much help and stealing money.
The question of passivity is a theme addressed obliquely in Mila 18, and is a topic of some soul searching by Ringelblum as well (he was executed well after the ghetto uprising had been put down).

 Geometry.Net - Celebrities Books: Kunis Mila
Mila 18 is Uris' fictional tale of a real event - the Warsaw Uprising.
In both historical fact and in Uris' book the story is a powerful one - how Polish Jews, imprisioned in the Ghetto without adequate housing, sanitation or food, finally rose up in resistance against the Nazis - armed with home-made weapons and pistols fighting battle-hardened veterans of a modern army.
I think that Mila 18 tells a story that must be told of the Warsaw uprising, but as someone who has read other holocaust books before, a lot of what happened in the ghetto, of the day to day suffering, starvation, and disease, seemed to be glossed over, or mentioned only briefly.

 Diana Mertz Hsieh: Review of Mila 18   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Mila 18 is a fictional account of the Warsaw Uprising, in which a small number of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto fought off the Germans for a surprisingly long time.
The characters are well-drawn, but you do not live among them as in John Hersey's novel The Wall.
A novel about such an event should be overwheming, but Mila 18 did not reach those heights.

 March of the Living International 2002
On January 18, 1943, the Germans launched the second mass deportation from the Warsaw ghetto.
Caught unaware, the ZOB staff was unable to meet in order to decide on what action to take in response, but in one part of the ghetto the armed groups of ZOB fighters decided to act on their own.
The resistance action taken on January 18 was of great importance, because four days later the Germans halted the deportation, a step that the ghetto population interpreted as meaning that the Germans were drawing back in the face of armed resistance by the Jews.
