Opis

In April 2006 a small British Army force was sent to the Helmand province of Afghanistan. The Defence Minister said the mission could be carried out 'without a shot being fired'. Over a million bullets, 700 dead Afghans and 6 VC recommendations later, James Fergusson brings us the real story of this gruelling and bloody war.

Recenzje
