Recensione:
'he is a good travelling companion: compassionate, wise, serious but not stuffy, with an insight into every hot spot in the world for the last 30 years. He writes well, by turns moving and wryly humorous..... those who have always admired Bell for his intelligent unaligned view on the world will find much to agree with in this book.' (Melanie Reid, THE HERALD )
'He deserved all his honours for unfolding a truthful tale in simple sentences, gradually filing his narrative with his special, lapel-grasping rhetoric, a compound of grim details, honesty-at-all-costs, and a suppressed but unmistakeable contempt for all politicians. These same qualities fill these pages.' (Fred Inglis, THE INDEPENDENT )
'A confrontational book that succeeds in its unspoken mission to open its readers' eyes (THE OBSERVER )
'He is refreshingly unguarded for a politician, while his unique combination of experiences makes this book far more than just a personal rant.... Bell's reporting skills are at their best when he recounts war zones such as Bosnia, Rwanda or Biafra..... THROUGH GATES OF FIRE shows he has lost none of his crusading zeal.' (Laura Kirby THE SUNDAY EXPRESS )
'a powerful, riveting analysis of the world in the new century' (Tam Dalyell THE SCOTSMAN )
'a sparky polemic about war, politics and the media...... it lands blows on deserving targets, and he always has an ear for a good line (Peter Millar SUNDAY TIMES )
'a mosaic of reflections, heartfelt, radical and original, written in the language of moral clarity....THROUGH GATES OF FIRE is, for the most part, hallmarked by Bell at his best' (Ed Vulliamy THE GUARDIAN )
'Bell's book is an important one.' (Mark Gallagher THE IRISH INDEPENDENT )
