Adrian Goldsworthy studied at Oxford, where his doctoral thesis examined the Roman army. He went on to become an acclaimed historian of Ancient Rome. He is the author of numerous works of non-fiction, including Philip and Alexander: Kings and Conquerors, and Hadrian's Wall. He has also written six critically acclaimed novels featuring Roman soldier Flavius Ferox. Hill 112 is his first novel set during World War II.
Adrian Goldsworthy mixes fact with fiction to great effect in this wonderfully graphic and moving depiction of three Welsh former schoolmates struggling to survive one of the most brutal battles of the Normandy campaign. Superb. * Saul David * His goal, which he accomplishes admirably, is to give a sense of immersion, to fling us into the terror, chaos and bravery alongside these painfully young men. * The Times * What a read * Bishops Stortford Independent * A fine novel of the British Army in World War 2... this sprawling, filmic book is immensely gripping * Historical Novel Review *
