A powerful, painful book about moral responsibility

Remarkable... Helga Schneider's frank account is desperately sad and powerful. Unforgettable

Frightening and fascinating

Let Me Go grips the reader completely

The book evocatively portrays the deprivations of wartime Berlin and the devastating emotional impact of one evil individual

He examines every branch of warfare in its history, psychology, metallurgy, genetics, logistics, archaeology, tactics and strategy...He is as much at home in the Empire of Babylon as he is on the Somme...On every subject he has something fresh to say. His learning is staggering and his gift for exposition unequalled.

Keegan's power as a writer derives from the fact that he does not see himself merely as a chronicler of battles, but as a student of the human condition. It is the breadth of his grasp of civilisation, as well as of the soldier's art, that makes this book so formidable.
