Target Basra by Mike Rossiter
In the night on 20 March 2003, Royal Navy Marines from 40 and 42 Commando board a fleet of 20 helicopters. With faces blackened and mouths dry, they have been given the job of capturing the oil pipelines through which 90 per cent of Iraq's oil is exported. This book is a story of courage, fortitude and the harsh realities of modern war.
