What They're Saying

Critics Review

“One of the best first-hand accounts of combat that I’ve ever read.”–Andy McNab, international bestselling author of “Bravo Two Zero”

“Mills powerfully describes the demanding work of his snipers before and after the city was brought under control…British participation in Iraq has been largely ignored in the U.S. That should change with Mills’s page-turning account.”–“Publishers Weekly” (starred review)

“Possibly the year’s best book, so far, on combat in Iraq.”–“Booklist”

“A gritty, speedball run…strong, cohesive, and complete…plugs the reader straight into the blood and guts of the action.”–“The Times “(UK)

“Another testosterone-laced memoir of an elite unit kicking butt in Iraq, this one with a cheerful, politically incorrect British twist….A military memoir refreshingly devoid of the usual patriotic overlay.” –“Kirkus Reviews”
