Description
"In this book, foremost military historian Richard Holmes has drawn on testimonies of officers and soldiers of The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment, of which he is Colonel, to capture in detail the day-to-day experience of soldiering. Their words are illustrated with digital photos taken by the soldiers themselves. Embroiled in a conflict often too dangerous for reporters to cover, these men and women - most of them young, many without any previous experience of combat - have kept records of their exceptional seven-month tour in Iraq and have given interviews that capture the exhiliration, drudgery, anxiety and horror involved in fighting a violent and increasingly unpopular war against a ruthless enemy. All have risked their lives: some have died. Others have been recognized for their courage, resourcefulness and gallantry - Private Johnson Beharry recently became the first person for 23 years to be awarded the Victoria Cross."--BOOK JACKET.
