In the Hour of Victory by Sam Willis
'Sam Willis has pulled off another notable coup in bringing to light these original dispatches, which add so much knowledge, and so much colour and interest, to a period we thought we knew so well.' N.A.M. Rodger
Extraordinary.. Seldom has the drama, chaos and stench of battle been more vividly evoked. * Daily Mail, 'Books of the Year' *
Lively and wide-ranging... Willis manages to combine hard facts with fascinating anecdotes and pen pictures of the principal characters * History Today *
Sam Willis does not just transcribe the precious, privileged sources he has discovered. He also locates them in the warfare, seascapes, and politics of their time. His vivid writing and the book's lovely design make In the Hour of Victory a pleasure to handle and a revelation to read. * Felipe Fernandez-Armesto *
