Media reviews

"A quite brilliant piece of writing. Here in a single volume we have a first-rate expose of two of the war's best known commanders... if Caddick-Adams were a landscape painter his book would be the equivalent of Monet, full of rich intriguing colours and patterns. The resultant effect is spectacular, and Caddick-Adams is to be congratulated on his achievement... a brilliant book written with passion and verve."
—Robert Lyman for BBC History Magazine Book of the Month
 
"Impressive... one of the best military histories of the year."
—Richard Holmes
