Kritik
PRAISE FOR DEVIL DOGS

'Exquisite detail...subtly textured... the Pacific War is rendered in painful and poignant detail... A narrative that reads like war in real time. It's war unplugged: cruelty, destruction, pain, but also love, kindness and camaraderie. I cried for these men and then thanked God that I will never have to send my son to war.' Times

'Brilliant... A chronicle that is part Hollwood film-script, but never less than vigorously researched history. David has a claim to be our finest military historian... Superb'
'Daily Telegraph

'David recounts in this stirring saga the WWII campaigns of Company K, the 1st Marine Division unit ... Skillfully plumbing the rich array of firsthand accounts by Company K veterans, David vividly describes pillbox raids, accidental deaths, and hellish jungle conditions, and draws incisive portraits of Marine officers and their command decisions. The result is a captivating chronicle of the war in the Pacific'
Publishers Weekly

PRAISE FOR SBS: SILENT WARRIORS

A SUNDAY TIMES #4 BESTSELLER

A TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021

'This is a terrific book, written with all the gusto, thrills and heady excitement these SBS operations richly deserve. It really is one of the most enjoyable histories I've read in many a year'
James Holland, Daily Telegraph, five stars

'It's an extraordinary trawl through the archives, backed up with diaries and interviews; an accomplished act of storytelling... David has written a book that often gladdens the heart, but also makes you think about the nature of sacrifice'
Times

'A brilliant account of how the SBS was born from wartime needs, and just how much the organisation and its affiliated units were able to achieve in those early years'
Daily Mailmehr
