Until now, all these facts have been concealed by a smokescreen of accusation.'; GUARDIAN, 'New... call to release all files'; SPECTATOR '[A] new light... a new trend... officers coming to question the hierarchies into which they were schooled" Professor Helen Parr; DAILY TELEGRAPH, 'a powerful case for a public inquiry.' General Thompson, Admiral Larken; PICK OF THE MONTH '... [C]ompelling reading. [A]n evocative writing style... most absorbing in the telling of the human story.' SOLDIER MAGAZINE; GUARDS MAGAZINE, 'Important and in some senses shocking... for the first time accurately in the context of the planning, execution and historiography of [the war].'; ROGER ALTON, former Editor Observer and Independent, 'Full of heroic characters, a remarkable story that has lain hidden for too long...
