"'In his excellent and lucid account, Shephard fully makes his case that the aftermath of the liberation of Belsen was an episode in which the British can take pride...a powerful and dramatic narrative.'" Frank McLynn, Independent "'A solidly researched, scrupulously balanced and sensitive account of the liberation that will serve as a fitting tribute and a guide to future generations about how best to remember Belsen.'" Guardian "'A moving story.'" Times Literary Supplement "'Contributors to the ever-growing opus of Holocaust historiography have been accused by some of creating an industry.
