Review Quotes:
"Even if you're not one for "war stories," you'll likely get caught up in the breathless thrill-ride of Wein's newest World War II novel. ...its twisty plot, multivoiced narration and poetic prose make it fly by. It's an illuminating historical read and a realistic depiction of the costs of war."
--The New York Times Book Review
