Revue de presse

"Keegan visits all the battle sites in turn and brings them to life with the evocative prose that his admirers will remember from The Face of Battle...This opus is a labour of love" (Mail on Sunday)

"An excursus on the military sites of North America that cleverly marries theme and chronology" (History Today)
