Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. A gripping, no-holds-barred account of war in the twenty-first century. In 2006 Doug Beattie was awarded the Military Cross for his part in recapturing the southern Afghan town of Garmsir from the Taliban. He was due to retire from the British Army in 2007, when his CO made a desperate plea: stay on for one more tour. Torn between his love for his wife and children, and an overwhelming sense of duty towards his other family, the Royal Irish Regiment, in March 2008 he returned to Afghanistan. The story of what he endured there makes for gripping reading. If 2006 had been hellish, then 2008 was off the scale. For six months Beattie led British and Afghan troops into repeated, exhausting battles with the Taliban. He took part in 50 major contacts and innumerable smaller skirmishes. Here he describes in detail the action-packed reality of combat on the front line. An exceptional soldier who knows the horror of watching men die, Doug Beattie writes of the chaos and ferocity of war with the utmost honesty and humanity. This is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the armed forces and armed conflict, and anyone who wants to understand the reality of war.Praise for Task Force Helmand: 'A truly vivid account, and surely one of the most enlightening' - Manchester Evening News 'A unique chronicle of Afghanistan . thoughtful, compassionate, sometimes disturbing' - Daily Telegraph 'Beattie is good at describing the heart-pounding action of close quarter fire fights as well as the dry humour of day-to-day life with soldiers'- Military Illustrated Doug Beattie, MC became a soldier at the age of 16. During the quarter of a century that he was in the British Army, he served in almost every major theatre of operation, including Iraq, where he was regimental sergeant major to Colonel Tim Collins. He was first sent to Afghanistan in 2006. In early 2008 he returned for a second tour before finally retiring. He first met co-writer Philip Gomm in Helmand Province. This item is printed on demand.
