POOR EFFORT - FROM A SUPPOSED EXPERT
As a frequent reader of Osprey books,and particularly those relating to Afghanistan. To say I am disappointed with this book would be an understatement. The Author leigh Neville who is supposed to be an expert in this field with first hand experience - offers nothing new or indeed interesting that would not be found in other books already in the market.

All he has done is basically re-hash existing stories with old photographs - which is not really what one would expect from a series that is supposed to educate readers who have an interest in this subject.

My advice is save your money - as there are plenty of other books out there that offer a far better insight into what is really going on in Afghanistan.
