5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, 15 Sep 2009
By D. P. Mankin (Ceredigion, Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Peace (Hardcover)
This is a superbly written novel (although really it's a novella) that grips from the opening page. You almost live and breathe the conditions confronting the bedraggeled tiny group of soldiers that are the focus of the story. The dangers and moral ambiguities facing individuals in this group are brilliantly realised by the author. Characters are so well rounded (i.e. flawed and deeply affected by the brutality of war) that you believe in them as real people. Their thoughts, fears and doubts carry conviction and whether you like any of them doesn't really matter. This is one of the best novels I've read in a long while.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect novel, 9 Dec 2009
By J. H. Bretts "jerard1" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Peace (Hardcover)
This is an enormously powerful novel about war and combat, the focus being on American forces in Italy in 1944. But of course it could be Vietnam, or Iraq. Bausch can write very atmospheric and precise prose - some sentences had me rereading them in admiration - and create fantastically believable characters. Three soldiers , no more than boys, on a mountain in the pouring rain on a dark night, with a taciturn old man from the nearby village as a guide, ahead of them the retreating German forces and potential snipers...

Strongly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple but beautiful, 2 Sep 2009
This review is from: Peace (Hardcover)
It's a short novel and the story, set in Southern Italy in WW II, is relatively simple but the prose is solid and it is quite a reflective read. I enjoyed it immensely and will now investigate the back catalogue...

Beautiful short desciption of the senselessness of war, where ever it takes place. Should be read by every young man who believes the lies that war is heroic. Brilliant.
