It is a pity too, since the book - brilliantly written in fiction style despite exact and exacting research carried out in a manner seldom seen even in academic history circles - remains the best depiction of modern warfare and the affects of imperialist mass media on a generation. It was striking, for example, how many of the combatants stated that they felt as if they were in a film. I would add to this list Inglourious Basterds and 300. Yeah, I know they're not strictly 'history'...but you can see why I include them.
