'A vivid and absorbing portrayal of a unique and dedicated group of soldiers.' - General Sir Mike Jackson, formerly Chief of the General Staff. '[a] scintillating book' - Short List This is a powerful piece of reportage - The Financial Times 'The great merit of Bomb Hunters, Sean Rayment's study of the British bomb disposal units in Afghanistan, is that it lets us hear the true voice of the soldier.' - The Financial Times 'Bomb Hunters is highly recommended'. - The Daily Star '...this book is fine war reporting rather than polemic.
