Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

Two outstanding stories of war in a single volume, from the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature: the short story A Soldiers Legacy and The Silent Angel, Boll's haunting first novel. "...staggering in its intensity and evocation of despair and shock... an occasion for renewing our appreciation for Boll's genius"--Booklist. "...terrifically on target with its series of tragic, ascetically drawn tableaux...a great document..."--Kirkus.


Review:

"A rich novel, still pertinent to our own hunger for the bread of meaning."

Peter Filkins, New York Times Book Review, 1994
