- Summary
- "John Reece Cole's short stories were written during and immediately after the Second World War. "They represent a view of war", Cherry Hankin writes in her ... introduction ..., "which no other New Zealand fiction written in the aftermath of the holocaust ever came to grips with". They are not stories of war in action, but of "war as it affects the minds and lives of men, perhaps permanently". Arranged in sequence, they have the outline of a novel. ..."--Back cover.
