3 Commando Brigade

Presents an account of that heroic pursuit of the Taliban by the ordinary Marines, sailors and soldiers responsible. This book is about the war in Afghanistan as told by the junior officers, corporals and marines on the ground. It is a story of valour, fortitude, supreme physical and mental fitness, and unrivalled professionalism.

The account explodes from the first page with Operation Glacier, a graphic, no-holds-barred account of a Commando attack on a key Taliban base south of Garmsir - a battle that ends with the dramatic recovery of a Corporal's body from alongside the fort by Apache helicopters. From this opening salvo the action never lets up, offering a startlingly honest account of the war in Afghanistan as told by the junior officers, corporals and marines on the ground.
