Does anyone have the book? If you do, can you tell me who the author of the quote in the fron cover is? It's something about the man who fights at the front line being worthy of praise..... or some such stuff!

Many thanks.

This?

Thanks TEC, but no. It's a quote from someone totally unrelated to the book, it just fits with the tale very well.

"It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge. War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. war was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting the ultimate practitioner"

Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian.
