"[[This] may be the book about World War II which has been so long awaited."-- Christian Science Monitor , "Eloquent . . . powerful . . . Critics have likened it to All Quiet on the Western Front ."--John Barkham , "Few memoirs can compare with this work in range of feeling, depths of self-analysis, or vivid recounting of combat. This exception book is highly recommended."-- Library Journal, "[ Forgotten Soldier ] must be read. . . . An enduring indictment of the evil of war and what it does to man."--Louisville Courier-Journal, "Sajer is blunt in explaining his reason for sharing his experiences: 'to reanimate, with all the intensity I can summon, those distant cries from the slaughterhouse.' He succeeds in doing just that. . . . This book will remain relevant because it explores the psychology of the soldier at war."-- Military Review , "May well be accorded equal respect with War and Peace as the masterpiece reporting war's reality."--David Douglas Duncan, photojournalist and author of This is War! and War Without Heroes , "May well be accorded equal respect with War and Peace as the masterpiece reporting war's reality."--David Douglas Duncan, photojournalist and author of This is War! and War Without Heroes, "[[This] may be the book about World War II which has been so long awaited."-- Christian Science Monitor, "Eloquent . . . powerful . . .
