Paul Brickhill not only wrote the best-selling war dramas The Dam Busters, The Great Escape and Reach for the Sky, he lived those dramas, as this engagingly written biography reveals.
Steven Carroll, The Sydney Morning Herald
Solidly researched and readable...paying tribute to the skills that went into crafting Brickhill's heroic stories while questioning the ethos that sustains them.
Tom Gilling, The Australian
Stephen Dando-Collins who has breathed life again into one of the integral storytellers ... How fitting in 2016, the 100th anniversary of his birth and 25th anniversary of his death that Paul Brickhill’s skill and story can be brought to a new generation of readers and this tribute which is a testament to his global acclaim is both perfect and poignant.
