Helmand by Simon Weston
During their tour of Afghanistan in 2008 a few Royal Marines from 40 Commando kept personal diaries of their experiences of Afghanistan, their tour in Helmand Province, their impressions of the war and their feelings towards the civilians they protected and the Taliban they fought against.
"An honest, poignant and often harrowing account of life on the Afghan front line"- Sunday Mirror 'A vivid portrait of life on the frontline through the diaries and recollections of soldiers who contend with moustache competitions one minute and life threatening action the next. Funny, heart breaking, absorbing and above all, honest. A must read book.' - Paddy Ashdown, Lord Ashdown of Norton-sub-Hamdon, GCMG KBE PC
Simon Weston served with the Welsh Guards and was badly injured during the Falklands Conflict. His recuperation and story is an inspiration to millions. Simon is the patron for the John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation.
