Review
Praise for the audio book: 'An exciting, eye-opening, thought-provoking book that will leave you sadder and wiser about the validity of war.! The stoicism of 3 Para's young soldiers is extraordinary ! The lasting message of Rodska's feisty reading is that if we need ot have wars, we need the men of 3 Para to fight them.' Sue Arnold, Guardian Praise for the hardback: 'Wonderfully compelling ! a fast-paced story of incredible bravery that at times reads like a thriller.' Christina Lamb, Sunday Times More praise for '3 Para': 'Bishop gives a gripping insight into deployment in Afghanistan last year of 3 Para!written with the fluent, rich and engaging fashion typical of the author's as a journalist.' The Times 'He presents an inspiring story of courage, discipline and!selfless comradeship!the frenzy of close--quarters combat!is captured particularly vividly!fast--paced and absorbing.' Daily Mail Praise for 'Fighter Boys': 'No one reading this book can possibly doubt the heroism of those involved ! there can't be a finer history.' James Holland, New Statesman 'I know of no more thoughtful nor yet more moving study of their achievement.' Max Hastings, Sunday Telegraph 'Powerful yet restrained, at times almost unbearably touching.' T. J. Binyon, Evening Standard
