"The greatest qualities of this excellent novel are . its refusal ever to abandon the human dimension in a story that could so easily have become grandiose . and finally, a profound awareness of the tragic irony that makes tens of thousands of ordinary women and men die fighting against the Republic that was created, in theory, precisely to serve them, and to protect them against the rapacity of their former feudal overlords" (Salman Rushdie, New Republic).
