Review
" The sound of real human voices: bewildered, sad, often angry, sometimes bitter, bit for the most part remarkable...a shattered relay-race of narrative gives the book a ghostly, choric poetry - Saturday Telegraph ...breathe a sense of immediacy, of being there on the spot; and the spot is, only too often, a place of horror...thoroughly readable by anyone who wants to know what it felt like to be engaged in a world war....That war is horrible, no sensible reader can doubt; that this war was worth fighting, to get rid of barbaric regimes, comes across well - Spectator A unique collection of personal testimonies...a timely reminder of the sacrifices and horrors of war - Sunday Express With the rawness and immediacy that only this kind of oral history can provide - Sunday Times"
