About this title

Review

"The prose is crisp and terse so that the events and experiences themselves make their full impact, while the reflections cause one not only to ask why in quite a proper analytical sense, but to face up to the searing personal questions of blame, responsibility and accountability "
Kenneth Wilson, Epworth Review, April 2002.
