Product Description
Review
The Mirror A refreshing change from the usual war book, Bloody Hell debunks the myth of glory and warriorhood with gripping accounts of action told from the individual soldier's perspective. The effect of war on a soldier's life is graphic and deeply disturbing. The Guardian Bloody Hell is an honest, grim, collection of personal experiences of the true face of war. It is a powerful indictment of the long-term impact of war. To quote from the book, "The true hell of war doesn't start until you come home". The New Internationalist War stories to end all war stories. A chilling journey into the heads and hearts of men who are trained to kill.
Mark Dowdney, The Mirror

If you think you want to know- Ask a Soldier.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bloody Hell: The Price Soldiers Pay (Paperback)
This book delves deep into the dirty business that is war, taking accounts from those at the sharp end - the soldiers on the ground, while its all going on.Many a myth is dispelled by this book, the soldiers are portrayed as the people that they are, and not the machines they are sometimes portrayed as. Deeply disturbing, this book will not let you go. Brilliant.

Debunking the myths,

This review is from: Bloody Hell: The Price Soldiers Pay (Paperback)
A book that destroys the boyhood myths of warfare, showing what war really is, from the eyewitness accounts of both combatants and non-combatants.Not light reading, since it pulls no punches in what it seeks to show, and yet it is gripping and fascinating. A good introduction to the realities of modern warfare.

The after effects of war and conflict.,
By Barry Donnan "Barry" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bloody Hell: The Price Soldiers Pay (Paperback)
I am sure by now we have all heard of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and the tragic effects it has on Veteran's and their families. Dan Hallock gives Veteran's of various conflicts, including Vietnam, the Falkands, Gulf War 1 and Special Operations in the ' War on Drugs' a chance to be open and honest. This pocket sized book should be placed on the shelf of every Army recruiting office all over the world. George W Bush and Tony Blair should have a copy beside their bed and understand the futility of war and that it is the individuals who pay the price. It strips away all the flag waving, all the glory, and all the lies, and goes straight to the heart of the human heart and minds of those who have suffered and been neglected by various countries. One of the most powerful and thought provoking books you will ever read. You may even shed a tear. One thing you will have a better understanding of war and the human condition. Buy it and read the truth that you won't read in newspapers or in the news.
