Review
'A consummate piece of war literature, with the feel of a turbulent time uncannily recreated conveys the wonder of flight with an understated lyricism' C.J. Fox, Independent 'His evocation of war, of witnessing death, of the last squalid days of fighting a beaten enemy, brings out the fullest compassion and the finest edge of his reporting. Flights of Passage must, without fail, be read' Richard Hough, Daily Telegraph 'Through [Hynes's] eyes, it's easy to understand why men cherish the red alert of war as a high point their lives will never again achieve, a time when the world seemed carefree and savage, passionate and disarming, with non-stop moments of hatred, love and deliverance' New York Times Book Review 'An unusual and moving book an authentic fragment, poignant and real, of a great and tumultuous past' Washington Post Book World
