Its the kind of book I enjoy reading, I carnt be bothered reading fiction as I think is just a waste of good eye sight.The book was gr8 from the off set I found myself picking it up every time I had 5 mins. For anybody who is interested in (I carnt say war story as its fact)the front line fight then I must say its well well worth the eye sight. People dont know what are troops have to go through and it gives you a sence of being proud to be British, something that we seem to have lost in this country. I have read a few books like this but this is well at the top, I dont know if ever a film was made of the book, as I know thay have of some of the ones I have read but it would be a blockbuster in my view. If I had to rate it out of ten I would for sure give it nine.A very very good read.
Firstly, the book is extremely well written. Whilst I do not know for sure, I don't believe that it is Ghost written. There is a complete absence of Gung Ho but, by the same token there is humour and extreme bravery and, something I was not expecting, compassion for fellow comrades. This book was recommended to me and for that I thank my elder son. From day one, the dreadful experience of what was close encounter fighting begins and continues throughout. A reader must remember that this not fiction, it is not, in my opinion at all embellished; It is terrifying to say the very least and an absolute credit to all the soldiers involved. To perhaps help to understand the fighting in the middle east, this book must be read.

almost a compelling page turner. base don actual events and soldiers giving one mans account of incidents and conditions when under fire. good descriptive writing and joined up history on real area or a war zone giving attitude of soldiers under fire and living condition with a little local 'attitude' thrown in. a boys own type of read. ideal if sitting on a beach or on a long flight etc as time flies when reading this. well worth recommending.

I have several books on Snipers. Most of the cover sniping as a concept and cover the history of sniping. This book is about an event in time that most of us have recent memories of. It takes you into the life of a platoon and it's members. Recommended.
