Fascinating work. Not at all the dry war novel I expected. The construction is perhaps different from anything I've encountered. Never before have I felt such a sense of being manipulated by an author...the reader's perception is shaded gently in different directions throughout the book. What seems right in one chapter may seem horribly wrong in the next, but the shift is seamless. Brilliantly written.
