Review
A.N. Wilson, Evening Standard - 'much, much more than architectural history, for here, encapsulated in marmoreally angry prose, is an account of that collective act of mass murder, without parallel in history, known as the Great War. An unforgettable, passionate book.' The Observer - ' the value of Stamp's book lies in its eloquent account of the genius of the vision of Edward Lutyens...who created in the Monument to the Missing at Thiepval the central metaphor of a generation's experience of appalling loss.' The Spectator - 'as a piece of architectural analysis it is impressive' Literary Review - '[a] moving and eloquent book...' Sunday Telegraph - 'This book is a gem...an eloquent, moving lament for the futile waste and industrialised killing of the First World War, and indeed of the 20th Century - an elegy which resonates powerfully today.' The Guardian -'Stamp has provided an invaluable, detailed and illuminating study...'
