"These stories are so harrowing, their witness so precise and devastating" The Times "With the rawness and immediacy that only this kind of oral history can provide" Sunday Times "An extraordinary and immensely moving book" -- Stephen Fry "A unique collection of personal testimonies ... a timely reminder of the sacrifices and horrors of war" Sunday Express "The sound of real human voices: bewildered, sad, often angry, sometimes bitter, but for the most part remarkable ... a shattered relay-race of narrative gives the book a ghostly, choric poetry" Telegraph
