Synopsis
During the winter of 1944, three soldiers are sent on a reconnaissance mission up a mountain in Italy, near Mount Cassino, led by seventy-year-old Angelo, an Italian of indeterminate loyalty, and are confronted by the terror, confusion, and hardship of their mission, which is enhanced by a life-altering encounter with a sniper, in a story of the human cost of war. 35,000 first printing.

Review
`A few pages into Richard Bausch's Peace, I decided that I was reading one of the best books of my life. Two months later, I'm a bit calmer, but it's still absolutely f***in' brilliant.' --Roddy Doyle, Books of 2009, Guardian
`A beautiful bit of writing: lean, compact and layered, darkly humorous... Lyrical and unflinching... The narrative is infused with a deft grasp of metaphor and a kind of aching rage. A timely novel.' -- A L Kennedy, Books of 2009, Guardian
Book Description
A stunning short novel with breakout potential to exhilerate readers who loved Ian McEwan's Atonement; The Dark Room by Rachel Seiffert; and Sandor Marias' Embers.
'Richard Bausch's Peace, set at the end of the Second World War in Italy, is a small masterpiece with the same emotional force and moral complexity as Conrad's Heart of Darkness.' Colm Tóibín
