Product Description

One of the most important military books this year, revealing the full story of a campaign which remained only partly covered by the media due to the dangers and difficulties involved. No other writer has been given this level of access.

* These stories of bravery are unlike any that have filtered back from the battlefield since the Korean War.

* Patrick Bishop's many years experience as foreign correspondent for the Daily Telegraph mean that his contacts and knowledge of the situation in Afghanistan are unrivalled.

* For the first time, `helmet-cam' pictures taken from soldiers' cameras documenting events as they happened, will be included in the finished book.
