A.E. Conran
It was sparked by a discussion with two friends, both Emergency Room doctors at the VA. Like many books, it evolved over time and ended up drawing upon many of my own experiences: as a child growing up in the UK in a small village where everyone had a memory/experience of war, and where there were veterans of both world wars and even a German ex-POW still living with us: my own obsession with Romans and Celts as a child; my son's love of a particular video war game and his interest in Romans, Celts and battlefield models; listening and trying to comprehend the way our modern conflicts are reported and fought, and how they are both similar and different to wars of the past.
