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
...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
