Neil Huybregts

I really enjoyed this book – more than I was expecting. Crawford’s writing is both informative and engaging. The book comes across as well-researched, with a good level of detail, and a clear way of combining the various aspects of the story acquired from different players. I love that he relates the two survivors’ accounts faithfully despite their differences. He achieves just the right level of drama for my liking, using a straightforward account of the sequence of events that lets the natural tension of the events speak for itself, but with occasional splashes of strong prose that bring the story to life.
