Praise for Stewart Binns
*-*
Anyone with even a vague interest in Britain and the Great War
should read Shadow of War
*Celia Sandys, granddaughter of Winston Churchill*
An epic . . . the book on the conflict remembered this year 100
years on
*Sunday Sport*
Stewart Binns has produced a real page-turner, a truly stunning
adventure story
*Alastair Campbell*
A fascinating mix of fact, legend and fiction . . . this is
storytelling at its best
*Daily Mail*
Stewart's books always leave me with a sense of pride for my
country, and this book is no exception, but this is tempered by the
individual courage and the individual loss. The personal tales that
inspire and horrify in equal measure. By the time I finished the
book I felt entertained and educated, which for me form the key
pillars of a great Historical Fiction novel. Once again Stewart
Binns has managed to create something unique, entertaining and
eye-opening, I'm very much looking forward to book 2.
*Robin Carter, Parmenion Books*
The whole thing is a tour de force of writing brilliance, and it's
great to know that in five years' time, Stewart will have delivered
a book for each of the first world war years. A totally enjoyable
experience, a brilliant start to a terrific project.
*Books Monthly*
Unarguably heart-warming... will leave any reader with a sense of
British pride
*Goodreads*
Truly a book that educates while entertaining, a talent of this
best-selling author
