A shell-burst of a book
The Economist
An eloquent and painful book... Clark leaves the impression that vanity and stupidity were the main ingredients of the massacres of 1915. He writes searingly and unforgettably
George Malcolm Thomson, Evening Standard
So far from being "just another war book" that it is likely to be bought and read for years to come
Vernon Fane, Sphere
Mr Clark writes with verve, venom and real feeling for the men whose lives the brasshats squandered
Paul Johnson, New Statesman
He is a writer with considerable gifts both of description and narrative. His subject gives them plenty of scope; indeed his descriptions of battles and battlefields are sometimes masterly
Michael Howard, Listener
