Revue de presse
'The best account of an Irish soldier at war since Hitchcock's "Stand To", but far more beautifully written. Wise beyond his years, Patrick Bury has written a scintillating masterpiece about the paradoxes of an Irishman serving Britain, of training for war, of the crushing tedium of waiting for action, and of the unspeakable horror when it arrives. The first great book of the Afghan war'
Kevin Myers, Irish Independent
'Patrick Bury's 'Callsign Hades' joins that elite band of great war books. It is a quite enthralling account of Irish soldiers at war, by a gallant Irish officer and a superb writer'
Kevin Myers, Irish Independent
‘This is an intensely sad and moving book. Sad because of the futility it portrays; moving because of the heroism it recounts. Written by an Irishman who joined the British army in 2006 and served a tour of duty with the Royal Irish Regiment in Helmand province, in Afghanistan, in 2007-2008, Callsign Hades is a vivid but ultimately despair-inducing account of war in the 21st century’
Peter Cunningham, Irish Times 27/9
'Dubliner Patrick Bury is one of the last people you would expect to find commanding a British Army platoon in Afghanistan. AP Maginness talks to him about life in the British Army and why he decided to write about his experiences'
Interview, The Irish News, 25/9
Real-life stories of combat are, tragically, all too common. Few, however, are as well told, morally encompassing and enlightening as this brilliant account of being in the frontline in Afghanistan with the 1st Royal Irish"
