“A haunting and provocative book about history, memory, and the
elusive nature of heroism.” —The Washington Post
“Gripping . . . a tear-jerker in the best sense of the word. . . .
Soldiers of Salamis strikes a chord in any country or individual
with ghosts to face.” —Los Angeles Times
“Stealthily brilliant.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Lays bare the virtual impossibility of historical certainty, the
whimsicality of fate, the unpredictability and unreliability of
memory and the elusiveness of truth. . . . Cercas perfectly
captures the uncanny ways in which a story evolves.” —Houston
Chronicle
"Of exceptional literary merit." —John Hooper, The New York Times
