Praise for The Centurions:
"I first studied Lartéguy's stunning reflection of modern war in 1974 at West Point. My notes served as a cautionary primer for the challenges I'd later see emerge time and again. The lands, languages, uniforms, and personalities were different--but the themes and emotions were constant." - General Stanley McChrystal (U.S. Army, Retired)
"The depth of the principals and the author's sure sense of their complex torment bring the soldiers' world vibrantly to life...The Centurions rewards fast, consumptive reading as well as deeper engagement, offering provocative insights into military leadership and the generational consequences of empty policy." - James Hornfischer, The Wall Street Journal
"It's impossible to fully comprehend the emotional impact of combat without having lived it. But reading The Centurions is a pretty good substitute." - Sophia Raday, Slate
