With the discerning eye of an experienced war correspondent, Ryan draws a picture of this massive WWII undertaking that turned into a tragic Allied disaster despite the courage and heroism required by the many thousands of men in the field.

The pathos and futility, so masterly portrayed, stay with you long after you have closed the book and returned it to your bookshelf.

The unforgivable waste of war brought to mind my father’s stories of his WWII desert campaign as the doctor of a Gurkha Battalion in the British Indian Army, making this story a very personal one for me.
