More DescriptionFor the first time, we are offered first-hand testimony about Britain's participation in recent campaigns by senior participants. These eyewitness accounts give a real sense of how the character of a war changes even as it is being fought and will be essential reading for those in military academies and staff colleges, not only in Britain but throughout NATO, and especially in the USA.

This book will become a primary source for historians and students of the wars, in Iraq and Afghanistan in particular.
