Forfatteren har god historisk indsigt, og det er også en forudsætning for at sådan en bog er god. Fortællestilen er ikke sofistikeret, men jævn og underholdende... persongalleriet er hyggeligt, med lettere overkarikerede seje veteraner med et hjerte af guld. Men det er en dejlig bog og nu starter jeg på næste i serien.God oplæser m brummie accent!!
