Book description
Now Zad, Afghanistan: a small unit of British soldiers are beseiged on
a hilltop, surrounded by Taliban. There is no way out but through ambush
country, on roads full of IEDs. In any case, the British have no
intention of running: they have promised the local population that they
are here to stay. But every day the attacks on their position become
more daring, the shells more accurate. It is only a matter of time
before someone gets hurt...
This is the gritty but life-affirming story of how Britain's most
highly decorated frontline soldier led his men through two tours in
Afghanistan. Through rocket strikes and IED attacks, drugs busts,
ambushes and full scale battles, Mick Flynn's first priority has always
been to get his men out alive. But it is an ambition he can't promise to
live up to... Warrant Officer Mike Flynn CGC MC is currently the most
highly decorated serving soldier in the British Army. He has seen active
service in Northern Ireland, The Falklands, Iraq, Bosnia and
Afghanistan. He lives in Windsor with his wife and children, but at the
time of publication will have just returned from his third tour in
Afghanistan.
