"I have never read anything that so fully and perfectly captured
the personal experience and the personal aftermath of war" P. J.
O'Rourke A young, devil-may-care Englishman reporting on the Soviet
war makes a fateful commitment to a swashbuckling Afghan guerrilla
commander. Not only will he go inside the capital secretly and live
in the network of safe houses run by the resistance, he will travel
around the city in a Soviet Army jeep, dressed as a Russian
officer. Waiting in the mountain camp, from where Niazuldin's band
of fighters lived and planned their hit-and-run attacks on Soviet
troops, Ed Gorman discovers what it means to experience combat with
men whose only interest is to be killed or martyred. After that
summer in Kabul province the young freelancer became a staff
reporter for The Times, covering conflicts in Northern Ireland, the
Gulf, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the Balkans, but Afghanistan never
let him go. Death of a Translator is a searingly honest description
of a mind haunted and eventually paralysed by the terror of
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. "Death of a Translator is a
powerful and personal read. Ed Gorman discusses his experiences in
an incredibly open and moving way. His story is an example to us
all" - Brigadier Ed Butler CBE, DSO With a new preface by Ed Gorman
