	Max Hastings CV at PFD
		After leaving Oxford University, Max Hastings became a foreign correspondent, and reported from more than sixty countries and eleven wars for the BBC TV and London Evening Standard.
		For this study of courage, fame and their consequences, the bestselling military historian Max Hastings has chosen fourteen men and one woman whose lives illustrate a wide variety of battlefield experience by land, sea and air in the 19th and 20th centuries.
		Hastings has mined the archives and interviewed over 170 witnesses in five countries to piece together a saga that is at once fascinating military history and one of the great human tragedies of the twentieth century.

	Guardian Unlimited Politics \| Special Reports \| The view from Max Hastings
		Max Hastings edited the Telegraph for years, but despite the accent, the military leanings and the country causes, he won't admit to being a Tory.
		Max Hastings lopes into lunch, preposterously tall, limbs not wholly under control; when he sits down, he seems to be arranging a difficult deckchair.
		Max remembers watching him filming when he was a child and overhearing a woman saying, 'There's that Macdonald Hastings'; 'I thought then, in a rather shameful way, when I grow up, I want people to say, "There's that Max Hastings."' I can report that his wish has come true.

	Max Hastings' 'Warriors'
		Max Hastings wants to return attention to the warrior virtues, but without succumbing to the temptation to write hagiography.
		Hastings' selection is admittedly "whimsical" and heavily weighted toward Britons and Americans who left memoirs of their exploits.
		Max Boot, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, is completing a history of revolutions in military affairs over the past 500 years.

	Amazon.ca: Editor : An Inside Story of Newspapers: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Hastings, then a columnist for the Evening Standard and a feature writer for the Sunday Times, was an unorthodox choice for the position, despite having made something of a name for himself reporting on the Falklands War.
		Max Hastings was editor of the venerable British newspaper the Daily Telegraph from 1986 to 1995, being invited by Conrad Black to takeover the paper when he manoeuvred the Berry family out of their prize possession.
		Hastings writes well, as would be expected from a well regarded military historian, and the most interesting part of the story is the nuts and bolts detail of how a declining and aging paper was dragged into the modern era.

	Book review of Max Hastings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Hastings, who wrote "Bomber Command" (1979) about the British fire-bombing of German cities, has written an intriguing survey of the last two years of World War II in Europe.
		Hastings shows how Germans and British/Americans fought a relatively "fair" war (as fair as world wars can be), taking prisoners (not killing them) and respecting each other's determination to win the war.
		Hastings shows an interesting fact: Germans consistently won all the battles that were fought on equal terms.

	Armageddon by Max Hastings: Reviews
		Hastings' incisive, superbly written and comprehensive book is far from a dry academic exercise.
		What is admirable about this sweeping and well-researched study of Europe in that fateful year is the way Hastings makes us aware of the colossal physical damage, carnage and sheer human misery that are partly attributable to that ultimatum ‘unconditional surrender’.
		Hastings shows a true understanding of just how brutal WWII was and how no nation could truly walk away with heads held high.

	Armageddon: The Battle for Germany, 1944-1945 by Max Hastings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Max Hastings does an excellent job in showing how the Allied forces (British, American, etc..) were far too cautious and worried about casualties while the Russians poured men and machinery towards Berlin without concerns of being outflanked or worrying about casualties.
		Hastings does an admirable job in this narrative of the fall of Nazi Germany and should be commended for tying together the multitude of issues inherent in this tale...
		Hastings believe that a "cultural collision" took place in 1945 and that the experience of the different societies was worlds apart.

		Hastings tells the story of both the Eastern and Western Fronts, and paints a vivid portrait of the Red Army’s onslaught on Hitler’s empire.
		"Hastings does an excellent job of weaving together the war's multiple layers: from the high command and midlevel officers to infantry grunts and confused civilians.

	Critique of Max Hastings book, 'Das Reich' (presented by Marc Rikmenspoel)
		It is perfectly true that Max Hastings, who at the time he wrote the book was a journalist, has made numerous spelling mistakes with names, both those of people and also places.
		Hastings used his status as an apparently well-known British journalist to enlist the assistance of several former officers of the "Das Reich" Div.
		Hastings devotes much of his book to reiterating the standard establishment story of the German reprisal action that led to tragedy at the French village of Oradour-sur-Glane, but he is rather candid in that he admits that he does not know where the truth leaves off and the fiction begins!

	New Statesman - NS Profile - Max Hastings
		If anyone thought when Max Hastings stepped down from the editorship of the London Evening Standard that their hearing was now safe from the Hastings boom, or that his noxious cigars would trouble their nostrils no more, they couldn't have been more wrong.
		As the recently elected president of the Council for the Protection of Rural England, Hastings is beating the drum for the countryside and has declared that he will be holding his head high (very high, given that he is nearly 6ft 5in) in next month's Liberty and Livelihood march in London.
		A friend of Max says he used to complain that she holidayed on the Riviera whereas he went to Butlin's with the nanny.

	Amazon.co.uk: Overlord: D-Day and the Battle for Normandy, 1944 (Pan Grand Strategy Series): Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		If Hastings ever revises “Overlord” – and the emergence of more evidence since its writing would suggest he should – then I would like him to include better analysis of personal and political motivations, and to include some of the less well documented but equally important military events of the time.
		Hasting's book does a good job in giving the overall picture whilst dipping into the detail with the eyewitness accounts that punctuate the text.
		Hastings is guilty of many assumptions about the fighting qualities of British and Canadian soldiers that have been demonstrated to be wrong by Terry Copp's magnificent work on the Canadians in Normandy - Fields of Fire.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| Review \| Review: Warriors by Max Hastings
		This is a subject that has preoccupied Max Hastings since his childhood, and in Warriors he has a stab at an answer.
		Either, as with Manning, the romanticism is quickly dispelled; or, as with Burnaby, it causes the death of others; or, like the much-wounded Baron Marbot (a French cavalryman of the Napoleonic wars, supposedly the model for Conan Doyle's Brigadier Gerard), it is absurd.
		As Hastings would be the first to admit, war has moved on an awful lot since then.

	Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball Max'd for Xbox Review - Xbox Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball Max'd Review
		Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball Max'd captures the intensity and excitement of paintball, and in the end it's only limited by the confines of the sport itself.
		That nonword in the title of Greg Hastings' Max'd sounds silly, but it brings with it some much-appreciated new features like team control, voice commands, a map editor, and more course layouts and tournaments than the previous installment in the series.
		Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball Max'd does a great job of authentically recreating the sport of paintball, but the presentation is somewhat disappointing.

		Max Hastings has written a highly readable account of the dramatic shifts in power and alliances, not the least of which was the decline in status of England, and the rise of America as the supreme military power.
		Using deep research and his mastery of documentary evidence and archival material, Hastings brings to the fore great achievements and acts of heroism as well as miscues, weaknesses, ambitions, rivalries, hurt feelings, base behavior, and behavior for which there appears to be no explanation.
		"Max Hastings's many qualities as an historian are abundantly displayed in ARMAGEDDON, his superb account, with clear and comprehensible maps, of the prolonged Allied battle for Germany between June 1944 and April 1945.
