"Fast-paced.. succinct, often thrilling." -- Ben Wilson The Times "One could not wish for a better storyteller or analyst than John Man." Simon Sebag Montefiore "His ability to put us in the picture, to feel, smell and almost touch the surroundings he describes, is matched by his ability to tell a good story." Michael Palin
