Ground Truth by Patrick Bishop

Ground Truth by Patrick Bishop

Afghanistan, 2008. After their eighteen-month epic tour of Helmand Province, the troops of 3 Para are back. This time, the weight of experience weighs heavily on their shoulders.

‘Are we winning or losing the war in Afghanistan? …Bishop offers no easy answersThe portrait he paints is one of selfless young men and women performing magnificently under near-intolerable conditions … “Ground Truth” is one of the best accounts you will ever read about contemporary warfare: shrewdly observed, action-packed and written with great sensitivity.’ James Delingpole, Mail on Sunday

‘A beguiling and often bewildering account of how this strange war seems to the fighting man and woman…Bishop gets to the core of their thoughts and fears. As a view from the ground, often with the author present at key points, Bishop’s books are invaluable’ Evening Standard

‘What makes this sequel stand out as a record of the war in Afghanistan is the author’s ability to encapsulate the personalities of the various officers and men involved, while simultaneously unravelling the complex strategy behind this most confusing of campaigns.…Those involved are fortunate to have found such a fluent advocate of their cause and exponent of their valour.’ TLS

Patrick Bishop has been a foreign correspondent for over twenty years, reporting from conflicts all over the world. He is the author of the critically acclaimed and bestselling ‘Fighter Boys’, ‘Bomber Boys’ and ‘3 Para’.
