Historian David Reynolds has praised Saul’s new book, out in April 2020. ‘Gripping, even gruesome, yet deeply moving,’ he writes, ‘Crucible of Hell sweeps us masterfully from a coral charnel house in the Pacific to the mushroom cloud over Hiroshima.’
Saul David is an historian, broadcaster and the author of several critically-acclaimed works of fiction and non-fiction.
His history books include Military Blunders, The Indian Mutiny: 1857 (shortlisted for the Westminster Medal for Military Literature), Zulu: the Heroism and Tragedy of the Zulu War of 1879 (a Waterstone's Military History Book of the Year) and, most recently, All The King's Men: The British Soldier from the Restoration to Waterloo. He has also written two bestselling novels, Zulu Hart and Hart of Empire, and edited the war diaries and letters of a Great War subaltern,Mud & Bodies. His latest work of history - 100 Days to Victory:How the Great War was Fought and Won - will be published on 12 September 2013.
