Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Reports from Afghanistan by a freelance foreign correspondent who has written for "The Times" and "The Daily Telegraph", subtitled "The Real Story of the War in Afghanistan", which questions whether the British could have avoided the sorry slide into war in Helmand province. 'Fascinating, succeeds brilliantly' "Sunday Times". 'Cannot be ignored by anyone interested in the future of the British Army' Douglas Hurd.

Publisher's description:

In April 2006 a small British peace-keeping force was sent to Helmand province in southern Afghanistan. Within weeks they were cut off and besieged by some of the world's toughest fighters: the infamous Taliban, who were determined to send the foreigners home again. This book takes us to the dark heart of the battle zone.
