SHORTLISTED FOR THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON MEDAL FOR MILITARY HISTORY
2021, THE BRITISH ARMY BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021, AS A FINALIST FOR THE
2020 ARMY HISTORICAL FOUNDATION DISTINGUISHED WRITING AWARDS. FIRST
RUNNER UP IN THE TEMPLER MEDAL BOOK PRIZE 2021. 'With a soldier's
eye for telling operational details, Ben Barry offers an
authoritative, compelling and inevitably bleak account of the
American and British campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan.' Sir
Lawrence Freedman, Emeritus Professor of War Studies, King's
College London Newly revised and updated with in-depth analysis of
the current situation in Afghanistan after American withdrawal,
Blood, Metal and Dust is an authoritative account of how the wars
in Iraq and Afghanistan were played out, explaining their
underlying politics and telling the story of what happened on the
ground. From the high-ranking officer who wrote the
still-classified British military analysis of the war in Iraq comes
the authoritative history of two conflicts which have overshadowed
the beginning of the 21st century. Inextricably linked to the
ongoing 'War on Terror', the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan dominated
more than a decade of international politics, and their influence
is felt to this day. Blood, Metal and Dust is the first military
history to offer a comprehensive overview of the wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq, providing in-depth accounts of the operations
undertaken by both US and UK forces. Brigadier Ben Barry explores
the wars which shaped the modern Middle East, providing a detailed
narrative of operations as they unfolded. With unparalleled access
to official military accounts and extensive contacts in both the UK
and the US militaries, Brigadier Barry is uniquely placed to tell
the story of these controversial conflicts, and offers a rounded
account of the international campaigns which irrevocably changed
the global geopolitical landscape.
