Review Quote | A subtle unfolding of character and history camouflaged in battle-dress-an absorbing portrait of lives lived at the edges of terror and beauty. Koch is a powerful writer and this is a fine book |
Other text | A gripping tale, a convincing, page turning evocation of recent history, full of compelling characters, tumultuous events and just plain excitement |
