Review

"Out of his somber materials - fear, confusion, death - he made great beauty. His short story 'In Another Country' begins with a paragraph exquisite in its spare lyricism and resignation" (New York Times)

"Flawless...such mastery of narrative, imagery and feeling, the prerequisites for great prose" (Edna O'Brien on A Farewell to Arms Guardian)

"A sparse, masculine, world-weary meditation on death, ideology and the savagery of war in general, and the Spanish civil war in particular" (About For Whom the Bell Tolls Sunday Telegraph)

"An excellent story-teller, intense and skilful" (Daily Telegraph)

"This noteworthy anthology presents some of Hemingway's most powerful writings on war... Hemingway's grandson has made a fine selection" (Tampa Tribune)
