'[Stories] of breathtaking derring-do ... A gripping new collection from Max Hastings that puts you at the heart of the battle ... In his powerful new book, Soldiers: Great Stories Of War And Peace, he has collected first-person accounts that illustrate in searing detail and immediacy all the violence, grief, pathos, black humour and courage of conflict. In these compelling extracts, a young officer agonises over his decision to leave a dying comrade, a badly wounded Gurkha gets back into battle, and a legendary field marshal is executed by his own side' Daily Mail 'A delightful book, which can be dipped into anywhere and which will provide enormous enjoyment to all those who are interested in how people react to war' Aspects of History 'A fascinating collection of military stories ... The sort of book that can be picked up at intervals ... [but] once tasted, is hard to put down' Washington Post
