Review Quotes: "Popular history of the finest sort . . . an excellent book worthy to rank with Barbara Tuchman's The Guns of August and Alan Moorehead's Gallipoli." -The New York Times
"What a tale . . . The events may be sprawling but the assessment is succinct; a tour de force of scholarship and sophistication . . . one of those historical recreations putting many a novelist in the shade." -Kirkus Review
