When it came out in Germany in 1972, the book was attacked by Christian thinkers of all varieties; Jesuit Theologian Karl Rahner condemned it as a "frontal and total attack" on Christ.

He is known to subscribe to the new European doctrine that pitched battles are less important than tactical maneuvering in winning wars. Continental officers were nevertheless astonished when Howe did not follow up the hard-won victory at Bunker hill...
