The Long March Home

Fiction

“Band of Brothers meets Empire of the Sun. Amid vivid scene-setting, a captivating young narrator brings us the innocence, steel, and moral choices that come from a world being turned upside down, with one thought on a girl back home and another on surviving until the end of the day. Jimmy Propfield even brings to mind Voltaire’s Candide. This is war-writing at the highest level.”
