"What a life! This is a glorious read simply because the exploits, intrigues and assignations are true. Lovely stylish, insight into the mores of the time."
"Spartan language, even bleak but somehow you are drawn into the apparently banal and mundane to find a gem of a romance buried in the pointlesness of the war."
"Pure class. This has everything, great plot, complex characterisation and Roths fabulous prose just drawing you along. A fantastic tale of McCarthyist America,"
"Groundbreaking novel that set out the archetype for the Western genre. Good versus evil, pretty gal, horses, injuns. Great prose and style puts you right there."
