These 13 (1931) William Faulkner "An american who writes like an angel." | The Patriot's Progress (1968) Henry Williamson "'Its power lies in the descriptions, which have not been surpassed in any other war book within my knowledge... It amounts to a tremendous, and overwhelming, an unanswerable indictment of the institution of war." |
