Reviews

Unflinchingly honest.--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)


He lucidly recounts the intensity of battle and the pain of losing comrades. For Smithson, the war is a source of personal enlightenment, and this memoir is a remarkable, deeply penetrating read that will compel teens to reflect on their own thoughts about duty, patriotism and sacrifice. (Memoir. YA) -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
