"While it's a page-turner as gripping as any thriller novel, what's striking about a telling of a run-up to an IRA hostage drama in London is how much of the story is absolutely relevant to a security man's work today."

Mark Rowe, Editor
Professional Security Magazine, September, 2008

"I found it impossible to put the book down... The Road to Balcombe Street is a carefully crafted, excellent book, which can be read and appreciated by all, irrespective of the interests of the reader.

Andy Day, Internet Law Review, London.

"MORE THAN JUST A WELL WRITTEN AND WELL-RESEARCHED BOOK. It is a document to be read and studied by hostage negotiators world-wide. . . . Provides guidance and understanding necessary to increase awareness of the importance of how such circumstances can occur, how information can be gathered about such an incident and then, how such a difficult situation can be resolved. . . . A book that can be read and appreciated on many levels depending on the needs and interests of the reader. THE HISTORY AND PERSPECTIVE ALONE IS REASON ENOUGH TO READ THIS BOOK."

"POSSESSES ALL THE COMPONENTS OF A FIRST RATE, WELL TOLD, BEST-SELLING ADVENTURE STORY. The road mentioned in the title is really a meticulously researched trail of the events that led to a hostage negotiation episode that occurred in London over a period of six days in December of 1975. The author's comprehensive and carefully crafted background material is essential in following the root causes of the conflicts operating during this bloody period in Irish and British history."
