Rezensionen

"Very much the best book about JRR Tolkien that has yet been written. Even if you are not a Lord of the Rings fan, I commend this book to you. It is all so interesting in itself, and I have rarely read a book which so intelligently graphed the relation between a writer's inner life and his outward circumstances."
A.N.Wilson, Evening Standard

"A highly intelligent book exploring Tolkien's personal experience of the First World War... Garth displays impressive skills both as a researcher and writer." Max Hastings

"Garth's brilliantly argued study convincinly portrays Tolkien in an entirely different leagues from other, more familiar writers on war." Daily Mail
