The book acts as a tribute to these deserving but often forgotten
soldiers and their collective courage, giving a voice to their
inspiring and at times harrowing stories.'--Scottish Field
I learnt a lot from this book and highly recommend it to anyone who
has an interest in the Gordon Highlanders or prisoners of war from
this historical event. It's a great read!--The Few Good Men
