A stunning account of war that gives a detailed look into the psyche of the twenty-first century British infantryman. Jones writes of his brothers and their Afghan experience, from its adrenalin-filled highs to the many lows, with passion and candour. The pace is unrelenting, whilst the epilogue stands as the sobering full stop for a generation of soldiers who campaigned in Iraq and Afghanistan.Major Adam Jowett, bestselling author of No Way Out
A gritty, brutal book about men at war. Raw and real. Brilliant.Tom Marcus, bestselling author of Soldier Spy and Capture or Kill
At times darkly funny, at times tragic, this is a powerful and honest book about the British soldier, about the reality of conflict and the struggles some face when they come home.Brian Wood MC, bestselling author of Double Crossed
