Praise for Fergal Keane:

‘Keane’s real distinction was in his reporting talents, which as this book shows, are considerable’
Evening Standard

‘His book is a memoir but it is so much more than that…a volume of the most exquisitely written and moving truth and honesty.’
TLS

‘A completely honest account of reporting conflict.’
Independent

‘An empowering story of triumph over adversity.’
Irish Times

‘Profoundly honest.’
Observer

‘Fergal Keane operates masterfully on three levels, setting this, the last military stand of British empire, in a far wider campaign context…vivid, compelling and terrifying…Keane catches both shrinking revulsion and astounding courage to brilliant effect…I found myself, on one or two pages towards the close, caught in a choking emotion.The evidence is meticulously gathered and the writing so powerful that it turns a book about a battle into a book about human beings, their existence and their end.’
The Guardian
