“As good a look at the swirl of memory and emotions in a soldier’s head as any I know.” — Farley Mowat
“Read this book! Politicians and generals may talk and write about war, but if you are at all interested in what soldiers and those who support them do, read this book.” — General Rick Hillier, author of A Soldier First
“This is an intelligent, fiercely perceptive, funny and wise book, written by a young Canadian soldier who is all that himself . . . it’s a great read that honours both the profession of arms and the craft of writing.” — Christie Blatchford, author of Fifteen Days
“The Patrol is exceptional. . . . Deeply personal, vulnerable, and refreshingly candid. It is highly recommended to anyone interested in Canada’s military involvement in Afghanistan, or those that ponder the nature and traditions of soldiering.” — Canadian Military Journal
“Frank and thoughtful.” — Winnipeg Free Press
“If this is the most illuminating book yet written on the fight in Afghanistan--and I think that it is--its virtue stems from its absorbing point of view . . . The Patrol is simply the story of a young man ordered to do an impossible job.” — Robert Hough, The Man Who Saved Henry Morgan
