Ron Leshem has succeeded in creating an entire world, simply through language
author David Grossman
This gripping first novel describes... a country increasingly weary of endless war and strained by differences between hawks and doves... By turns, it is tragic, funny, mordant, irate, shocking, and poignant.. A must read
Booklist, Starred Review
An important novel...This is a picture of war from a soldier's point of view. Its language is crude, the body count rises, and yet the tenderness of the bonds among the men is extraordinary
library Journal, Starred Review
Beaufort is that rare thing, a novel of deep moral concern in which sympathetically drawn and beautifully realized characters are allowed to speak for themselves.
LA Times
scenarios unfold, funny, chilling and unrelenting ... Leshem never slackens his pace.
San Francisco Chronicle
An overnight literary sensation ... it brilliantly evokes the nature of war ... Beaufort is a comic, absurd and piercingly truthful story. This is an incredible debut novel
