An extraordinary book.
Richard Vinen, author of National Service
Beautifully written, intensely poignant book ... It will leave a real mark on the minds of those who read it.
Peter Hennessy
Powerful and moving, Our Boys is a fascinating insight into the nature of combat and represents an important contribution to our understanding of the Falklands War, The Parachute Regiment and post-war Britain.
Dan Jarvis MP
A classic. Truly superb... something unique and original. It does great justice to the Paras, and is the most honest and honourable homage possible to the author's uncle Dave.
Major Nigel Price, 7th Gurkha Rifles
A work of astonishing power and originality ... a compelling study of the realities of war, centred on the death of the author's uncle in the Falklands. It is at once intensely moving, completely objective and beautifully written.
Jonathan Sumption, The Spectator
