Recensioner i media

"In pages of lean prose, Stoke Newington-raised Baron conjures the boredom and fear as a British regiment embarks for the Normandy beaches. An unqualified masterpiece." * Evening Standard's best books of 2019 *"Undoubtedly one of the very greatest British novels of the Second World War." -- Sir Antony Beevor"Offers the portrait of a military unit in human terms, as day to day incidents reveal the characters assigned to the Normandy Invasion." * Kirkus Reviews *
