Review:
Hassel's books of war are the most powerful I have ever read
In essence this is an expose of the absurdity of war, and a moving plea for peace. As such, it takes its rank with far milder books, such as ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT--NEWSDAY
In an almost magical way Sven Hassel unites the powerful style of Ernest Hemingway with Remarque's unique way of writing. The unknown soldier of the Second World War has got his monument--MORGENAVISEN, Norway
He is graphic, at times brilliantly so, but never brutal or bitter. He is, too, a first-rate storyteller--WASHINGTON POST

He is graphic, at times brilliantly so, but never brutal or bitter. He is, too, a first-rate storyteller--WASHINGTON POST
A sobering depiction of war's brutalities, and the violence and inhumanity that the history books leave out, now relaunched with a stunning new look.
