Anyone with even a vague interest in Britain and the Great War should read Shadow of War
Celia Sandys, granddaughter of Winston Churchill
An epic . . . the book on the conflict remembered this year 100 years on
Sunday Sport
Stewart Binns has produced a real page-turner, a truly stunning adventure story
Alastair Campbell
A fascinating mix of fact, legend and fiction . . . this is storytelling at its best
Daily Mail
Stewart's books always leave me with a sense of pride for my country, and this book is no exception, but this is tempered by the individual courage and the individual loss. The personal tales that inspire and horrify in equal measure. By the time I finished the book I felt entertained and educated, which for me form the key pillars of a great Historical Fiction novel. Once again Stewart Binns has managed to create something unique, entertaining and eye-opening, I'm very much looking forward to book 2.
Robin Carter, Parmenion Books
The whole thing is a tour de force of writing brilliance, and it's great to know that in five years' time, Stewart will have delivered a book for each of the first world war years. A totally enjoyable experience, a brilliant start to a terrific project.
Books Monthly
Unarguably heart-warming... will leave any reader with a sense of British pride
Goodreads
Truly a book that educates while entertaining, a talent of this best-selling author
Historical Novel Review
A sensational historical piece . . . captures the realism of the war and the people involved. Readers will finally be able to get an insider's view to the battle that happened in June 1914. Fast-paced, thrilling, and absolutely spectacular
