No Worse Enemy by Ben Anderson
The chilling modern classic on the disastrous war in Afghanistan, now available in paperbackEssential reading
* The Bookseller *Similar to Michael Herr's high-octane Vietnam War classic, Dispatches, Anderson delivers a gritty, brutal, realistic account of British and American troops on the Afghan frontlines in a bitter counterpoint to all the policy concessions and peace chatter
* Publishers Weekly *"Unusually courageous… With humor, compassion and a fine eye for detail, Anderson meticulously pieces together each scene with the skill of a good choreographer… [This is] an engrossing blow-by-blow account of the nuts and bolts of modern warfare."
* Kirkus Reviews *Anderson's book makes a vivid contribution to the record of the conflict, and left me gasping at his courage.
* Max Hastings for The Sunday Times *"An essential if unsettling synopsis that brutally strips away any pretence that this is a just or even necessary conflict ... Highly recommended for those with even a passing interest in what is being done in our name in far-off Afghanistan."
* Military History Monthly *‘[A] brilliantly observed but troubling memoir… [an] outstanding book.’
* Daily Mail *"Wonderful… offers real insight into the war."
* The Sun *Gripping.
