Technical Going to the Wars by Sir Max Hastings
Posted on 2010-09-09

More Going to the Wars by Sir Max Hastings Review "Max Hastings is one of the greatest living war correspondents." John Keegan "A wonderful account of the wars of our times." William Shawcross, Literary Review "His memoirs have... honesty, pace and readability." Jeremy Paxman "The chapters on the Falklands War are... one of the best things written about warfare in half a century." John Simpson, Daily Telegraph "This memoir is a first-class piece of reportage." Jon Swain, Sunday Times" Product Description Max Hastings grew up with romantic dreams of a life amongst warriors. But after his failure as a parachute soldier in Cyprus in 1963, he became a journalist instead. Before he was 30, he had reported conflicts in Northern Ireland, Biafra, Vietnam, Cambodia, the Middle East, Cyprus, Rhodesia, India and a string of other trouble spots. His final effort was as a war correspondent during the Falklands War. "Going to the Wars" is a story of his experiences reporting from these battlefields. It is also the story of a self-confessed coward: a writer with heroic ambitions who found himself recording the acts of heroes. "Max Hastings is one of the greatest living war correspondents." - John Keegan. "A wonderful account of the wars of our times." - "William Shawcross", "Literary Review". "His memoirs have ...honesty, pace and readability." - Jeremy Paxman. "The chapters on the Falklands War are ...one of the best things written about warfare in half a century." - John Simpson, "Daily Telegraph". "This memoir is a first-class piece of reportage." - Jon Swain, "Sunday Times". ----------------------------------------------- 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting read...., March 13, 2005 By Ryan Mcgonigle (Fresno, CA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Going to the Wars (Hardcover) I purchased this book in N.Zealand on vacation because the title interested me about a year ago. I'll give my American caveat to begin: I am not familiar w/Mr. Hastings as most Brits are or must be--but, after reading his book, I felt I knew him quite well. His book would be quite the interesting read, especially for someone who has an interest in journalism. With regard to journalism of modern combat, Mr. Hastings stands in a class of his own, more so in our age of the embedded journalist. His fearless "yomp" across East Falkland and into Stanley during the Falkland War in horrid weather, is a testament to the sort of indefatigueable journalist he was. His characterization of the Falkland War as being the last of the "old-fashioned" wars that the world would witness is dead on. Mr. Hastings' description of how the print journalists' copies were transmitted, the television media's stories were broadcast and how long it took for a film to reach Britain from 8,000 miles distant--all while dealing with issues of censorship in wartime--made for a very interesting read. ----------------------------------------------- Fully Bookmarked and Searchable, scanned by me :-) [85 mb] or
