The war in Afghanistan is one of the toughest campaigns the British Army has ever had to fight.Traditionally the graveyard of any invading force,the country's barren and inhospitable terrain has seen off many comers during its bloody history.When British forces took up their positions in Helmand Province in summer 2006,they knew what they were getting into.They knew how hard it would be. 'Spoken from the Front' is the story of the Afghan campaign,told for the first time in the words of the servicemen and women who have been fighting there.With unprecedented access to soldiers of all ranks,as well as pilots,reservists, engineers,medics,Royal Military Police,mechanics,cooks and other military personnel,Andy McNab has assembled a portrait of modern conflict like never before. This is the full experience of our troops on the ground and in the air there,whether the preparation for battle,the battles themselves,their aftermath or merely what day-to-day life feels like.The horrors,cruelties, drudgery,excitement and banter of these soldiers' lives combine to form a chronological narrative of all the major events in Helmand during the British Army's time there. From their action-packed,dramatic,moving and often humorous testimonies in interviews,diaries,letters and emails written to family, friends and loved ones,emerges a 360-degree picture of guerilla warfare up close and extremely personal.It is as close to the real thing as you can get.
