Trade Review
The honesty with which Kevin relays his fear, his overwhelming sense that he is going to die, is impressive... Ivison's writing is unpretentious and accessible -- Patrick Hennessey * Daily Telegraph *
Absorbing ... At the heart of the book is a taut, riveting account of the events of a single day - February 28, 2006 - when Ivison rushed to the scene of an IED ambush on a road known as RED ONE * Daily Mail *
The chapters of RED ONE that cover the events of February 28 are as gripping, agonising and memorable as any modern military memoir * Sunday Times *
RED ONE is plain-spoken, heart-thumping stuff * The Times *
Gripping... a gifted writer as well as a genuine hero... I am humbled at what these heroes do for us all * Literary Review *
His account of life on the front lines is at times terrifying, but leavened with black humour * Good Book Guide *
Humbling, edge-of-the-sunlounger account of courage under fire. * TESCO MAGAZINE *
His account of life on the front lines is at times terrifying, but leavened with black humour. * GOOD BOOK GUIDE *
