The fight of my life... For the first time, a blistering, highly
charged account from the man known as 'Marine A' who was at the
centre of the controversial murder of a wounded Taliban fighter.
His case led to an unprecedented wave of public support which
raised over GBP800,000 to fund his appeal. The nerve-shredding
situations Sgt. Blackman operated within, under sustained attack
for long periods, living in the unrelenting horror of a theatre of
war, took their toll mentally and physically. 'This book chronicles
my young life, my recruitment and training, my first deployments,
and then my experiences in the Middle East, where I fought first in
Iraq, and later completed two tours of duty in Helmand, Afghanistan
- before finally confronting the final moment of my 2011 tour, and
the killing of the Afghan insurgent which led to my conviction for
murder. 'I confront this moment in a spirit of total honesty,
chronicling the weeks and months of a hellish tour that led up to
it, the mental frailties the tour exposed - and, without seeking to
make excuses, reclaim at least some of that experience for myself.
'This is a searingly honest look at the brutal realities of life in
the military.'
