Bloody War by Terry Grimwood Review by Nicolette Heaton-Harris War. It's always on the news somewhere, isn't it? It's something that the human race can never be free from it seems, and here, in the UK, war is viewed as something that happens far away on foreign shores. It's awful. Soldiers lose their lives and their limbs in many horrific and painful ways, but for those of us not involved, war is something that is neatly contained away from our lives and safely ensconced within our TV, where we can tut and complain about which politician or leader is to blame. This fast-paced book has twists and turns, and the story pulls you this way and that. This is a thriller, written in a surprisingly conversational, intimate tone, allowing you as the reader to travel on Pete's journey with him.
