A brilliant account of the growlers of the RAF.
A collection of great stories directly from the men who flew in the Shackleton, along with the development history of this unique aircraft.
I found the book very entertaining as well as invaluable for research for my third novel as I intended to have an Avro Shackleton as the focal point to my Cold War thriller.

A really good piece of reference for my latest novel. I can recommend it as unbiased account of the conflict that reveals just what a political hot potato the island has been and most probably will continue to be. This book will be like my dictionary, thesaurus and reference guide as I will have it next to laptop as I write the rest of the next Alex Swan Mystery novel.

A harrowing account of a forgotten war as seen through the eyes of a young boy on holiday. This book had me laughing and crying as you follow his journey and the struggle for his family to survive an ordeal of horrific proportions.

This is an excellent account of how a small boy while on holiday in Cyprus in 1974, experienced at first hand the horrors of a war. I am reading this as part of my background research for my next Alex Swan Mystery novel.
