'That most precious of war stories: a veteran soldier’s tale from the dust and blood and brilliant greens of Helmand. Deft, powerful and deeply moving, as much as an account of men at war, Edward King carries his reader along a bloody road to manhood - marked by milestones of searing grief, complex choices and terrible violence - which British soldier and Taliban fighter alike both trod as they struggled to outwit one another in Helmand’s sands.’ ANTHONY LOYD TIMES AWARD-WINNING SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT 'The realities of war and the toll on those who fight, on both sides. We’re with soldiers making dry mouthed decisions, who can still look beyond the battlefield to write a love letter to Afghanistan. Brave, remarkable and compelling' SARAH SANDS, FORMER EDITOR OF TODAY BBC RADIO  4
