Reviews

[William]

Wonderfully told first-hand accounts of the Greek-Turkish War, the Boer War, and the Spanish-American War. Davis observes with insight, understanding, and often surprising humor (when called for). He does not glorify war but rather points out the heroes and villains it creates on all sides. Readers may especially find interesting his early 20th-century advice on how to equip oneself for following such campaigns.

[Stephen Tubbs]

It is always interesting to hear or read eye witness accounts rather than, or in addition to, second-hand history. There are different narrators and unfortunately, these are of varying quality as are some of the technical aspects of the recordings - although I would imagine these were completed some years ago.
