Review:
"It is impressive in its ability to draw you in to the battle-scenes... Reminiscent of Hemingway and James Jones... The Fearless Man leaves you desolate and exhausted" (Guardian)
"Pfarrer writes with grand confidence...The Fearless Man is a book that unites clear, tight language with painful imagery...Bluntly evokes the horrible etiquette of warfare" (New York Times Book Review)
"In its brawling, battle-ready topos and the lyricism of its passages, The Fearless Man harks back to Hemingway...The Vietnam War becomes the forge and test of its combatants' courage" (Times Literary Supplement)
"A study of fear and courage... Three perceptive acts in which Pfarrer's complex, engaging characters face their deepest fears" (Time Out)
