What is it like to drive a Challenger tank over desert terrain for
six days in a row? Or hover an Apache AH1 attack helicopter a
hundred metres above enemy ground? How quickly can a Sapper clear a
field of unexploded devices, or build a bridge - or blow one up?
What is it like to fix bayonets, and engage in hand to hand combat,
or train a 5.56 mm SA80 sniper sight on an enemy soldier, and pull
the trigger? How do you find out what a soldier must learn on his
way to war...? Ask him. In this extraordinary book, Danny Danziger
interviews the people who fight our wars for us, providing a unique
insight into the reality of what we ask of our armed forces.
Groundbreaking and utterly compelling, WE ARE SOLDIERS takes the
reader to the heart of the 21st century soldier's experience.
