The Financial Times, where I turn to more often than to the TLS or the LRB for Arts & Books news and reviews - the FT is more radical and less modish - invited readers to submit their Book of the Year. I picked Svetlana Alexievich's The Unwomanly Face of War, reviewed here on 5 September 2017 and gave the required hundred word supporting statement which appears today at:

But see the original review for the full supporting case.
The author of this blog is Trevor Pateman. I have purchased all the books reviewed here except a very few noted as sent to me. My own books are cheapest at blackwells.co.uk and are usually on Amazon. I can be found at academia.edu but do not have an X account and never used Twitter; that is another Trevor Pateman.
