A stunning account of war that gives a detailed look into the psyche of the twenty-first century British infantryman. Jones writes of his brothers and their Afghan experience, from its adrenalin-filled highs to the many lows, with passion and candour.

Raw and real. Brilliant. -- Tom Marcus, bestselling author of <i>Soldier Spy</i> and <i>Capture or Kill</i> At times darkly funny, at times tragic, this is a powerful and honest book about the British soldier, about the reality of conflict and the struggles some face when they come home. -- Brian Wood MC, bestselling author of <i>Double Crossed</i> Powerful, raw and poignant, but also darkly funny in places. * The Times Magazine *
