'A triumph of storytelling. The first great novel of the Afghan war.' -- Major Chris Hunter, author of Extreme Risk 'Patrick Bishop turns novelist in this beautifully crafted love story. In its evocation of time and place it rings true at every turn.' -- Mail on Sunday 20080629 'Bishop writes an exciting aerial dogfight, rich in the telling detail that makes for authenticity. Yet this is a good deal more than a bloke's yarn, with well-drawn, convincing characters and plenty of what the movie-makers used to call love interest, too. One for the beach -- but probably not for the plane there.' -- Daily Mail 20080523 'A measured, lyrical novel of remarkable scope and poise, A GOOD WAR is also replete with the realism and authenticity that are the author's hallmark...wonderfully evocative...A GOOD WAR confirms Patrick Bishop as a writer of fiction who has come of age' -- Damien Lewis, bestselling author of Cobra Gold 20080429 'One of the most profoundly moving books about the war to have emerged in recent memory' -- Sunday Telegraph on Bomber Boys 20080429 'As one of the bravest and best war correspondents alive, Bishop has an instinctive sympathy for his subject' -- Standard on Bomber Boys 20080429 'A terrific book, so riveting, exciting and moving...a true memorial' -- Spectator on Bomber Boys 20080429 'Superbly written and authoritative' -- Observer on Bomber Boys 20080429
