Its detail is as marvelous as any yet given. The description of the wounding of the hero in a bombardment is as tremendously effective as anything current. In fact, I seriously question whether this description has been equalled. Its dialogue, possibly over plenteous here and there, is masterly in reproductive realism...... Dust Jacket Blurb
