Masters of Mayhem

“He throws considerable fresh light on the campaign, using both careful research into documents and military archeology, exploring the scenes of many of the actions.” ~The NYMAS Review

“Using Lawrence’s exploits sowing chaos as an example, the author defines unconventional warfare as using audacity and surprise to strike where and when an enemy is weakest, then melt away before foes can react effectively, leaving them confounded and demoralized.” ~Toy Soldier & Model Figure

"I’m pleased to say this new work by James Stejskal offers an interesting and valid take on the campaign for whom Lawrence became such a talisman… There are a great many attractive characters in this story… Mr. Stejskal brings them out into the light and places them firmly in context… the reader benefits from the warmth and understanding he brings to their story… you will not be disappointed with the telling."
~War History Online
