5.0 out of 5 stars
Remarkable trilogy of WWII,
This review is from: The Eighth Champion of Christendom (Paperback)
This book is the first in a remarkable trilogy that was written nearly contemporaneously with the Second World War. The story follows a young country lad through his service in the British military as he suffers, grows, and loves. The writing is evocative and recreates the day to day lives of the protagonist and his fellows, exploring the questions of good and evil without resorting to dramatic devices. This is a story equal in power to Spielberg's movie "Schindler's List", and would lend itself well as supplemental reading for a European History class. For those whose loved ones are currently serving in faraway countries, this book can provide a bridge to understanding the feelings of young men in combat.
