Timely ... [and] enlightening ... The writers are more often than not former participants from the conflict: diplomats, soldiers, official translators, the daughter of a US President, an Ambassador to Poland, or a broadcaster for British television. The reader trusts their accounts because they are highly personal and the authors were there in the room: this is no biographical guess or archival reconstruction.
