[The Ghost Front is a] realistic novel, which might well appeal to reluctant readers all the way up to senior high, about the 106th Infantry Division…. The grim brutality of war is amply demonstrated as Mr. Bonham shows its effects on the 18-year-old twins Andy and Tom Croft…. As they change from innocent youths to gaunt, bearded, mudsoaked men, the chaos and senselessness of much that happens in war is vividly conveyed. (p. 88)
