{{Cquote| ''Quote'' [http://www.marcusferrar.org/reviews.html ''link'']: This book tells how the British Army in [[Austria]] forcibly repatriated surrendered Slovene anti-Communist soldiers to their deaths in 1945. Authors John Corsellis and Marcus Ferrar appealed to the government for a British expression of regret to Slovenia. Sixty two MPs signed an Early Day Motion in the House of Commons calling for this. Then British Foreign Secretary '''Jack Straw''' wrote personally to the authors, and the head of a '''U.K. Parliamentary''' delegation to Slovenia did subsequently express regret.
