This is NOT the stereotypical account of war, it's without doubt the best first hand account in a war zone I've ever read.

One of the great British accounts of close combat . . . It is the inner conflict, as much as the closing with a shadowy enemy, that gives the book its edge . . . a remarkable book by a man remarkable in his humanity and courage.Robert Fox, Evening Standard
