Trade Review
"Always literate and learned....Wells is able not only to reconstruct a credible analysis of the German strategy, but also to explore the thoughts and fears of the combatants on both sides as the massacre commenced." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Wells does an excellent job of weaving the few written accounts, recent archaeological evidence, and his own interpretation into a compelling story that is fluently written and well organized." -- Library Journal
"Gives the story in clear and engrossing detail." -- Publishers Weekly
"Peter Wells conducts us to a hitherto mysterious and myth-enshrouded place....A journey well worth taking." -- Robert Cowley, editor of What If?
