Review
'War, politics and tragedy test the foundations of a lifelong friendship ... a thrilling story of loyalty and betrayal, forged in the heat of a war in which there would ultimately be no winners" - Bruce Dennill, The Citizen "the real strength of this compelling story lies in its hope that good will eventually derive from the chaos that predominates in this country at present. It is a hope we all share" - General John Hickman (former Commander Rhodesian Army) "I could not stop reading this in-depth story; it was fascinating to read of those incredible incidents that actually happened. Blood Lily sends a clear message to all people on this continent that we should not allow our leaders to dictate and feed propaganda to the masses. " - Ray Mordt (former Springbok and Rhodesian winger) "The excitement level maintained throughout the book means it is an equally good read for those who have no connection to Zimbabwe." -- The South African newspaper "I personally enjoyed Cranswick's Literary style and his underlying compassion, in the midst of graphic descriptions of battle, torture and death." -- Richard R. Blake, Reader Views "Riveting read, a novel that you just can't put down. A sad, emotive, but ultimately uplifting and informative account of the bloody Rhodesian war. A must read!" -- George Walmsley
