Review:
"Here the inevitability of evil and the universality of human suffering are more than novelistic themes: they are History in all its excessive reality, tackled in writing that is never less than fully engaged."
--"Le Nouvel Observateur"
""The Attack," Yasmina Khadra's best book, is an urgent, must-read."
--"Paris Match"
"Khadra uses his materials with such mastery and emotional power that the reader is continuously propelled forward."
--"Le Point"
""The Attack" is a mournful detonation at the end of this summer. To read it is to undermine your tranquility, and you can't tell whether the shiver that goes through you at the end is a sign of anguish or relief."
--"Le Figaro
