His first-hand account of fighting in the war makes him unique in his ability to be able to write about it unlike many of the other biased publications at the time. It is an extremely political book so it may not suit someone who wants to read about the emotional upheaval being on the frontline.
He truly is a genius ahead of his time.

The unscripted acting was warm when it needed to be and tense when it needed to be. It shine a light on Thatcher's Britain, divided and angry, a but like today. It's not always easy to watch but at the same time there is recognition of anyone who lived through this period.
So good it spawned a TV series, This Is England is one of Britain's best.
