Lucid and comprehensive-a vivid essay on wartime blunders and the post-war bluster that tried to hide them
Charles King, Times Literary Supplement
Exhaustively researched and scholarly-an exciting story and one that benefits from accounts written at the time by various soldiers and observers
Beryl Bainbridge, Guardian
Between these covers you will find a wholly unpretentious, terrifyingly honest breakdown of a war-exceptionally harrowing and impossible to put down
Mick Middles, Manchester Evening News
Ponting is both incisive and original in his account of what contemporaries called the "Russian War"
Michael Kerrigan, Scotsman
