Description

Ground Truth 3 Para Return to Afghanistan

In April 2006, the elite 3 Para Battle Group was despatched to Helmand Province, Afghanistan, on a tour that has become a legend. Two years later, they return to the front lines, facing a conflict that has changed and an enemy that has adopted new weaponry and tactics.

This searing account combines gripping first-person accounts of front-line action with an unflinching look at the hard realities of our involvement in Afghanistan. Patrick Bishop reveals the 'ground truth' of the mission our soldiers have been given, a sombre picture punctuated by stories of courage, comradeship and humour.
