Veteranhood by Joe Glenton
One of Britains most radical veterans takes us on a guided tour through ex-military life at the heart of a dead empire.
"As a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, it amazes me how our experiences in America mirror those in the UKRegardless of the decisions made by governments, dog-faced soldiers that spend their days in the enemy's backyard all share the same experiences during and after the war. Truly an interesting read that shows me how close we are."
"Funny, sad, hard-hitting... an instant classic."
“A groundbreaking and essential correction to the media fairytale of life as a UK military vet, written in the style of the legendary Gonzo writers of the 60s. It’s Andy McNab meets Hunter S Thompson and does that rare thing: provides deep insight while treating the reader with electrifying prose. I read it in one sitting.”
"Glenton's superb and angry memoir of comradeship and resistance takes you where no sane person would want to go: to the front line of combat with people who understand how shit war is, and are coming back mad as hell."
