This is a book about war but it is not a war book. It is the story of a soldier.
He is content to tell a story, and to tell it as interestingly as possible.
Shackleton can draw, and draw expressively, in lights and shades of humour and pathos. In his book he employs the kindly art of the cartoonist to bring out the real highlights of the campaign and to throw up the spirit of ordinary people tackling an extraordinary job.
