The Sunday Times Bestseller At the age of 23, Brian Wood was thrust
into the front line in Iraq, in the infamous Battle of Danny Boy.
Ambushed, he led a charge across open ground with insurgents firing
at just five soldiers. On his return, he was awarded the Military
Cross. But Brian's story had only just begun. Struggling to
re-integrate into family life, he suffered from PTSD. Then, five
years later, a letter arrived: it summoned him to give evidence at
the Al-Sweady Inquiry into allegations of war crimes by British
soldiers during the Iraq invasion of 2003. After years of public
shame, Brian took the stand and delivered a powerful testimony, and
following the tense inquiry room scenes, justice was finally
served. Phil Shiner, the lawyer who made the false accusations, was
struck off and stripped of an honorary doctorate. In this
compelling memoir, Brian speaks powerfully and movingly about the
three battles in his life, from being ambushed with no cover, to
the mental battle to adjust at home, to being falsely accused of
hideous war crimes. It's a remarkable and dark curve which ends
with his honour restored but, as he says, it was too little, too
late.
