A three-month walk with history, down the No Man’s Land that stretched from the North Sea to the French-Swiss border. We may have forgotten the great cataclysm, but the land has not.
Booklist (US) (1997):
With this ambulant meditation and protest against militarism, O’Shea has created a high-stature addition to the classic works about the Great War.
Kirkus Reviews (USA) (1997):
A tellingly detailed account of a trek through yesteryear’s killing fields, which unites past with present in affectingly evocative ways and with no small measure of art.
