My War Gone By, I Miss It So by Anthony Loyd

My War Gone By, I Miss It So by Anthony Loyd

Undoubtedly the most powerful and immediate book to emerge from the Balkan horror of ethnic civil war' Anthony Beevor, Daily Telegraph 'A truly exceptional book, one of those rare moments in journalistic writing when you can sit back and realise that you are in the presence of somebody willing to take the supreme risk for a writer, of extending their inner self. I finished reading Anthony Loyd's account of his time in the Balkans and Chechnya only a few days ago and I am still feeling the after-effects . . . I read his story of war and addiction (to conflict and to heroin) with a sense of gratitude for the honesty and courage on every page' Fergal Keane, Independent 'Deserves a place alongside George Orwell, James Cameron and Nicholas Tomalin. It is as good as war reporting gets. I have nowhere read a more vivid account of frontline fear and survival' Martin Bell, The Times 'An astonishing book . . . a raw, vivid and brutally honest account of his transition from thrill-seeker to concerned and compassionate reporter' Philip Jacobson, Daily Mail 'Magnificent . . . a stench of blood, excrement, mortar-fire, slivovitz and human bestiality emanates from these pages' Ben Shephard,
