Army Magazine reviews West Point '41
11 Jun 2015
‘An entertaining history of the American way of war from Pearl Harbor through Vietnam as told by graduates of the U.S. Military Academy… The war stories are inspiring. Equally engaging are the glimpses into other valuable contributions soldiers make over the course of a career, from shaping planning at the highest levels during the Eisenhower administration to innovating new weapons and tactics like the air mobility and combat aviation force.’

Beyond the Call reviewed in Army Magazine
11 Jun 2015
Beyond the Call this time gets a seal of approval from this month’s ARMY: The Magazine of the Association of the United States Army. The reviewer is a political affairs strategist in the US Air Force.
‘The meticulous primary and secondary research, which includes a well-apportioned photo collection and maps, combined with strong storytelling, reveals a ripping yarn previously locked in the hearts of a few men and casts the reader into the murky territory left in the wake of combat on the Eastern Front.’
‘This book is an enjoyable, well-researched account of Trimble’s heroic efforts, but I think it is more than that. Far removed from modern battlefields, it can provide today’s leaders with valuable lessons.’

Great Kirkus review for Zero Night
11 Jun 2015
‘A page-turner about one particularly daring escape from a Nazi POW camp during World War II… What makes this story particularly absorbing is the author’s use of diaries and interviews to re-create dialogue… The author grippingly tracks the evaders’ trek to freedom, an event that would warrant a book in itself. Even the epilogue will bring a smile. In this exciting book, Felton has captivatingly captured the bravery of the prisoners.’
Zero Night has also been nominated for a Kirkus Prize for non-fiction.
