Reviews
David Nott is brave, compassionate and inspiring - War Doctor is all of those things and more: a wonderful book that has left me in floods of tears. He needs a knighthood and his book needs to be in every house.Adam Kay, author of This Is Going to Hurt
Incredible non-fiction filled with so much humanity. You will never forget these stories.Joanna Cannon, bestselling author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep and Three Things About Elsie
So powerful and honest. Extraordinary.Elizabeth Buchan, author of The New Mrs Clifton and I Can't Begin to Tell You
One of the most brutally vivid evocations of modern warfare that you will read . . . superb, unforgettable, simply written and painfully clear . . . You are constantly amazed that men such as Nott can witness the extraordinary cruelties of the human race, so many and so foul, yet keep going. Be warned: this is a powerful but often traumatic read.Sunday Times
