Description
Sniper One: The Blistering True Story Of A British Battle Group Under Siege In the heart of the Iraq war, a small group of British soldiers found themselves under siege. The sounds of war were deafening as they fought for their lives in a battle that would last for six months. This is the gripping true story of their heroic stand, a modern-day equivalent of the famous Rorke's Drift. Dan Mills and his platoon of snipers were part of an infantry battalion sent to win hearts and minds in southern Iraq. But within days of arriving in theatre, they were caught up in the longest and most sustained fire fight British troops had faced for over fifty years. The battle was intense, with mortar fire and heavily armed militias making every day a struggle for survival. Sniper One is a harrowing account of total war, told in the words of the soldier who lived it. Dan Mills served for 24 years in the British Army, including time on operations in Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. His story is a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of those who serve in the armed forces.
