The Silent Angel

Two outstanding stories of war in a single volume, from the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature: the short story "A Soldier's Legacy" and The Silent Angel, Boll's haunting first novel."Staggering in its intensity and evocation of despair and shock. an occasion for renewing our appreciation for Boll's genius" — Booklist"Terrifically on target with its series of tragic, ascetically drawn tableaux. a great document." — Kirkus
