Críticas:
"The Last Enemy rapidly acquired the aura of a book that says something vital, whose importance goes beyond what it literally describes" (Sebastian Faulks)
"This slim volume of Hillary's seems to have a weight which makes it sink into the depths of one's memory, while tons of printed bulk drift as flotsom on its surface" (Arthur Koestler)
"One of the classic books of World War Two" (Philip French London Review of Books)
"Rivetingly well told...It will still speak to anyone who cares for the romance and tragedy of a lost hero." (Godfrey Smith Sunday Times)
"Elegantly affecting memoir" (David Horspool The Times)
