Critical Praise
A gripping, viscerally powerful tale.... An alternately grim and blackly comic war/coming-of-age novel.
—Kirkus Reviews
An important novel.... This is a picture of war from a soldier's point of view. Its language is crude, the body count rises, and yet the tenderness of the bonds among the men is extraordinary.
—Library Journal, starred review
Ron Leshem has succeeded in creating an entire world, simply through language.
—David Grossman, author of THE YELLOW WIND
