Writes Cliff Caswell for Soldier Magazine: ‘Throughout, the historian draws on a mountain of research while using testimony from the surviving witnesses of the period – including those who lived through the attacks – weaving all together in a compelling narrative. In combination, these different perspectives provide a rounded picture of the situation that led to the terrible events of August 6.’
