Critics Review
A terrific read - gripping from start to finish…this is historical fiction at its very best
A terrific read - gripping from start to finish…this is historical fiction at its very best – JAMES HOLLAND
A splendid tour de force, one that brings to life the heroism, sacrifice, tragedy, frustration, fear and - yes - thrill of war * WASHINGTON POST *
