Critics Review
‘Two things set Anthony Loyd apart from your average, war-weary combat-zone junkie: a luminous prose style that sometimes borders on the visionary, and a fiercely principled integrity’
‘Anthony Loyd is something special… It’s rare to find a man of action who is so naturally fluent with the pen. I’m tempted to invoke Hemingway but I think that might be doing Loyd a disservice’ - Mail on Sunday
‘Devastating honesty… Loyd shows himself to be the best guide through today’s wars working in the English language’ - Daily Telegraph‘Two things set Anthony Loyd apart from your average, war-weary combat-zone junkie: a luminous prose style that sometimes borders on the visionary, and a fiercely principled integrity’ - Daily Mail‘A great big bloody bong of horror, chaos, gallows humour, loss, boredom and self-loathing, followed by slack-jawed self-medication… If this is just another vicarious hit of a war correspondent’s memories, well, it’s seriously good shit, man’ - Independent on SundayAbout The Author
