Spot on, the TV drama didn't get anywhere close to capturing the horror of the frontline. Wonderful book .

just finished this.thought was a very good read and a good insight into how the prison gang has controlled a street gang and a few court cases are looked at as well.

All his books are great. I particularly enjoyed his recent War of the Rose's series. A very underrated author, second only to Bernard Cornwell for historical fiction imo.

Depends on what type of humour you find funny. You could try any of the Flashman books, particularly the first. They're just brilliant and I can't recommend them highly enough from either a humorous or historical standpoint. Three men in a boat is also worth a read.

Yes, I didn't enjoy them as much as either the Roses or the Conqueror (The Genghis Khan) series but they were good all the same and definitely worth a read, I just preferred the time periods of his latter work. I think they were the first book's he wrote and he's grow better and better over time.

I read Full Whack by Charlie Higson a few months back- was laugh out loud at times and well worth a read.
