Why read it?
1 author picked Covenant with Death as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I was bowled over by this book. There have been many great novels about the First World War, but this is head and shoulders above them all.
I loved the meticulous research and the superb characters that John Harris created. I really felt I was there with the Sheffield Pals Battalion as they faced the horrors of the Somme. It brought home what a debt I owe to those who perished in the First World War. My only regrets are that the book ended and that I didn’t read it years ago.
