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.
