Heart wrenching stuff * Metro *

Vividly told, this book is all the more engaging because its perspective is personal before it is political * Daily Mail *
As wonderfully written as it is controversial.. impossible to put down * Sunday Telegraph *
This is in every sense a hell of a good book, a powerful testament of the limits of peacekeeping in today's war zone - acutely observed, and told with astonishing immediacy -- Philip Gourevitch,author of WE WISH TO INFORM YOU THAT TOMORROW WE WILL BE KILLED WITH OUR FAMILIES
