Desperate Glory Avis

'Riveting. Evocative. Spine Chilling. Taste the bullets and the fear. Kiley writes like a dream, taking the reader into the heart of the heat, blood and dust of the Afghan nightmare' Damien Lewis, author of Apache Dawn 'A triumph ... Without hyperbole, without any softening or glamorising effects, he takes us to the battlefield and shows us its grimness' Patrick Bishop, Evening Standard 'Kiley is a remarkable reporter ... He writes with affection as well as insight, through turbulent and bloody experiences' Max Hastings, Sunday Times 'A vivid writer, not afraid of physicality, able to depict in words a scene that would never be shown on television. He writes fiercely in the just causes of men at war' Kate Saunders, The Times
