Praise

I enjoyed reading this book which was confronting at times. The strong emotions of Peter and Daniel were unexpected. Both were focused on achieving what they thought was right. The events surprised me, initially wondering if they were true. I had no idea what both sides suffered even though I knew some of the history. The story brought out the human element of war for me, there are no winners except for the architects. A terrific story well worth reading.
