A splendid and at the same time deeply distressing investigation; although Iraq isn't mentioned once, the terrifying relevance of the story is obvious... A brilliant account
Berliner Zeitung
A well-documented essay...an astonishing final section
Richard Gott, New Statesman
An important, outstanding book
Die Zeit
Impressive study.
Contemporary Review
In light of Greiner's magisterial exposition, Apocalypse Now begins to resemble mundane documentary
Independent
Professor Greiner, in this admirable translation by Anne Wyburd and Victoria Fern, scrupulously argued and carefully referenced, explains the failure of what is now known as the moral component of warfare, and therefore exactly how it was that the US lost
Allan Mallinson, The Times
This comprehensive indictment of the Vietnam war was published first in Germany in 2007. One wonders how long it will be before a similar book can be written about the dehumanising effect on a new generation of American soldiers of the Iraq war, also fought against a guerrilla enemy in a foreign land
Conor O'Clery, Irish Times
This is far more than an account of a historical event... War Without Fronts has far wider implications
Jonathan Mirsky, Literary Review
