This firsthand knowledge adds a layer of credibility and depth to the text, marking it as a significant contribution to war literature. ‘Mufti’ is highly recommended for readers who seek a deeper understanding of the human condition through the lens of conflict. It appeals not only to those interested in military history but also to anyone drawn to richly crafted narratives that probe the depths of the human spirit. Mc Neile’Äôs portrayal of resilience and vulnerability in the face of adversity ensures that this book is both timeless and relevant.
