Very interesting read with a bit of suspense, mystery and adventure. Brilliantly written.

Great read!

Firstly, this is not my normal reading material. This book was on a reading club list.

So, having got that out the way... I really liked it!
War is ugly, but instead of skirting around this issue the author carefully shows you the blood, gore and horrors of war (on and off the battlefield).
Not only that, but he also delves into the character's emotions exceedingly well. One death in particular was very emotional.

If anything, I would have liked the story to continue past the finishing point it did, but this is a minor quibble.

A very good story well told. If only we could learn lessons from the harrowing past!
