Review:

Exceptional... it tells in a modest, believable, quietly bitter and totally proud way of a family's extraordinary decency... Strong and unique. Without it, the English language these days is short a very good book. --New York Times

Fest's accounts of being called up, of trying to avoid military service, fighting, seeing comrades die, and being caught and kept as a prisoner of war are engrossing --Independent on Sunday

A heroic interrogation of Germany's past --Sunday Telegraph
