"I hope all those who are appalled by the destruction of Hiroshima will read this book-for a greater understanding of what man is capable of doing to his fellows in time of war" (Daily Telegraph)

"No one can write more feelingly of Africa-an experience not to be missed" (Evening Standard)

"One of the noblest books of travel written in our time, and one destined, I imagine, to have a permanent place in English literature" (Howard Spring)
