See ei ole geniaalse Lev Tolstoi paraadlik raamat, milles geenius uuris sõda kauges minevikus; see pole Verta Sutneri pisarlik teos “Maha sõda“, mis on kirjutatud hea kavatsusega, kuid ei suuda kedagi veenda ega kellegi veendumusi muuta. See on lihtne raamat täis prohvetlikku viha, see on esimene raamat, mis kõneleb sõjast lihtsalt ja karmilt, rahulikult ja tõe määratu...
