5.0 out of 5 stars
Immediate, well written volume in a World War II trilogy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Warfare Accomplished (Paperback)
Warfare Accomplished is the third volume in a World War II trilogy by Edith Pargeter. It concludes the story begun in The Eighth Champion of Christendom and continued in Reluctant Odyssey. There is an immediacy present in these books which is missing in many war novels. Mrs. Pargeter wrote them during the war and apparently interviewed soldiers in hospital and on troop trains. The story is wrenching and poignant and one of the best reads I have ever had. My husband, who is not a fiction fan, was riveted.
Edith Pargeter also wrote the Brothers of Gwynedd Quartet and The Heaven Tree trilogy, both set in medieval times. The Heaven Tree is a wonderful love story with beautiful descriptions of the mason's art and the building of a gothic church. We also know Edith Pargeter as Ellis Peters, the author of the Brother Cadfael mysteries.

Warfare Accomplished,

This review is from: Warfare Accomplished (Paperback)
Edith Pargeter is a accomplished writer better known by Ellis Peters and the Brother Cadfael series. This volume is the end of WW11, I had already read books one and two and I think they are the best novels about the war from the English point of view. Of course we witnessed the same horrors when we landed in Europe, but she tells about them in such low key that the emotional impact is somehow greater. Lucille Dressler
