There are few examples of conflicts were no quarter was given or received..... A sobering reminder that war is hell written with candour and a level of keen analysis seldom recorded by rank and file soldiers.

Shocking. The insights into the extent to which killing, rape and theft were an acceptable part of the value systems of German prisoners of war of all ranks and social classes is an eye opener. A must read for anyone nurturing racist delusions about the supposed unique barbarity of African conflicts. This all happened in Europe in living memory...
