Not first hand..,
9 Aug 2008
This review is from: 3 Para (Paperback)
I bought this book and like many others who had read 'Sniper One', 'Eight Lives Down' and other similar books, found this quite disapointing.
I expected it to be a first hand account where you feel like you are there with the actual soldiers, but this is nothing like that at all.
It is all a sort of mix up of whats going on in different places at different times, and is altogether quite confusing to be honest.
It seems as though the author has got loads of information of what happened from people who were there and decided to make a book out of it, but quite frankly it would have been one hundred times better if it was written by one of the soldiers themselves.
If you want a good military read then I advise buying the books mentioned above.
