didactylos's review against another edition
3.0
A very hard read, very well researched but it needed a better central focus and certainly needed some editing down - way too lengthy descriptions at times.

2 years of build-up and 1 day of absolute insanity... at times the build-up was a little dull but I guess that was the point and it made day 1 on the Somme all the more worth it.

Fen's story is haunting and important. Having stood in the trenches in France, even eroded for a hundred years, Covenant with Death took me back there to the mud filled holes with artillery exploding overhead and it was powerful. May we never forget those who fought for our freedoms.

This was as much a book about human observation as war. It highlighted the friendships made in war and how fighters have to adapt to the loss of their friends.

An all-time favourite. This is the best WWI fiction book I've read thus far.
