Description du produit

'Some of the most ferocious hand-to-hand combat I have ever read. Like Mark Bowden's classic account of fighting in Mogadishu, Black Hawk Down, Bellavia's talent as a writer is to communicate the gut-wrenching reality of close combat, but also, at times, the black comedy of a desperate situation'
Financial Times 2/9
'The best fighting book to come out of the Iraq war so far, and one of the best accounts of close quarters fighting of our time… disturbingly good' The First Post website, September
'Charting the American fight for Fallujah in November 2004, Bellavia takes the reader into the heart of that terrible battle. The place is frenetic, the action shocking. Yet, whatever one may think of Bellavia's views and actions, it is impossible not to empathise with him and his close-knit comrades in Alpha Company. The personal deprivations are appalling, the fighting terrifying, the deaths of men one comes to know and like, heart-rending. And yet somehow they battle on, clinging to each other and their training to get themselves through. Their bravery is astonishing and if there is a better book conveying what it is like to take part ina brutal, violent, urban battle, I've yet to read it. House to House is a stunning book that lingers uncomfortably in the mind long after it has been put down' James Holland, Sunday Telegraph 21/10
'Quite possibly the most exciting book you'll ever read. Seriously'
Daily Telegraph 27/10
‘House to House is a rewarding take of battle and what it means to those that wage it’ Sunday Business Post 14/10
'Some of the most ferocious hand-to-hand combat I have ever read. Bellavia has indeed become a combat hero and I look forward to seeing the movie that will undoubtedly be made of this book. If you liked Black Hawk Down, you will love this'
Military Illustrated, Dec '07 issue
‘Bellavia recalls his infantry unit’s tactics minute by minute. Fighting house to house, his men are wounded, sleep deprived and filthy. @we are America’s warrior class,’ he explains. ‘We stand a breed apart from other men.’ Their machismo is no less terrifying for being sincere. The shock is realising it’s necessary in such a hostile environment. The result is unpleasantly gripping’
Telegraph 31/5
