Review
The Assassin's Cloak was a treasury to return to at random. The same can be said of The Secret Annexe. Smuggled in to this selection is the telling suggestion that, even in wartime, life goes on. War may be an inferno, but the human comedy prevails. * * Observer * * The writers are mere flotsam on the tides of war. Their words are subjective, partial, personal, sometimes prejudiced, and occasionally mundane. But taken together and spanning centuries of warfare, they are the very stuff and substance of human experience. * * The Times * * This is a wonderful anthology. Imaginatively compiled and thoroughly edited. The Taylors have a sharp eye for revealing detail and a sense of humour, so that the awesome and tragic are balanced by the humdrum and quirky. * * The Herald * * A triumph in which the full range of human emotions associated with war is laid bare before us. -- Alexander McCall Smith
