Reviews

This is the first publication I've seen on the 1960s to address all closely the question: how did it feel in that dawn to be alive?

—— Herald

An action packed tapestry of illuminating flashbacks

—— Spectator

A modern Field-Marshal applies his strategic expertise to the greatest confrontation of classical times... Bagnall's analysis is leavened with character sketches and dry humour

—— Independent

The book is both a revelation and a compulsive read.

—— Robert Blake , Country Life

Richly documented and eloquent... challenges popular myths of the English and puts the record straight.

—— Roy Porter , The Times Literary Supplement

It is difficult to do justice to the scope and intelligence of this marvellous account of a much understood age.

—— Mark Archer , Financial Times

The most comprehensive look at the work of these intrepid sailors . . . A celebration of their ingenuity and valor

—— Baltimore Sun

Reads like an adventure novel, but it's all to real

—— Seyour M. Hersh, author of The Dark Side of Camelot

The veterans of the 'Silent Service' are silent no more

—— John Lehman, former Secretary of the Navy , Wall Street Journal
