Praise for Damien Lewis' WWII History Books "Exhaustively researched, powerfully written, and utterly gripping. Blows the doors off!" --Bear Grylls , host of Running Wild, and former British SAS Serviceman on Churchill's Hellraisers "A true story that reads better than any thriller." --Dan Snow , Award-winning British historian on Churchill's Shadow Raiders "Lewis presents a richly detailed and nail-biting tale. For readers who enjoy well-told history and scholars of World War II." -- Library Journal on Churchill's Shadow Raiders "Anyone who wants to learn more about the origins of the British Special Forces should read this book. It intertwines historical research and eyewitness testimony to tell the untold story of heroism, courage, and ingenuity." -- Military Press on Churchill's Shadow Raiders "Superb.Reads like an adventure novel and the reader may be excused in forgetting that it is a history book.

" --SOFREP on Churchill's Shadow Raiders "Damien Lewis' wondrously realized Churchill's Shadow Raiders isn't a work of fiction, but that doesn't stop it from reading like a top-notch thriller fashioned by the likes of Jack Higgins or Frederick Forsyth. The narrative is so riveting and powerful that it's easy to forget you're reading fact instead of fiction. Lewis writes with the alacrity of the great Erik Larson while displaying an even keener sense of storytelling." -- The Providence Journal on Churchill's Shadow Raiders "Lamentably the role of technology in the Second World War has received relatively little attention compared to major campaigns, particularly given the importance of technology in winning the war. The conflict was fundamentally a technological race for better military intelligence and improved weaponry. In this regard, Damien Lewis' Churchill's Shadow Raiders reveals the crucial role of radar in defeating the Luftwaffe, itself a precedent for the Anglo-American landings in 1944." --The Churchill Bulletin on Churchill's Shadow Raiders "A little-known behind-the-lines spectacular led by two heroic British officers. Successful niche military history for a popular audience.

" -- Kirkus Reviews on Churchill's Hellraisers "Military historian Lewis delivers an action-packed account of special operations missions against Nazi forces in Northern Italy during WWII.He sets a brisk pace and laces the narrative with colorful character sketches. Battleground history buffs will be entertained." -- Publishers Weekly on Churchill's Hellraisers.
