Critics Review
“An excellent read. The flying scenes are realistic, the characters (on both sides) are believable and the author obviously knows about the dirty work that goes on in secret services….an outstanding book.”–Generalbrigade der Luftwaffe, Friedrich Luebbe“Fact, it is often said, is stranger than fiction. The Kaiser’s Dawn weaves a great story, juggling facts and fiction and from the pen of a military historian whose research has often raised uncomfortable truths… . Add in careful research and an understanding of operations and the pressures on those involved in this cataclysmic war, and you have all the ingredients for a rattling good novel. Read it and ponder.”–Air Chief Marshal Sir Mike Graydon
