'The 3 Commando Brigade's six month deployment in Helmand Province
was among the finest pieces of soldiering I have come across'
General Sir Richard Dannett, Chief of General Staff In October
2006, the Royal Marine Commandos took up their six month tour of
duty in war-torn Helmand Province, southern Afghanistan - the
toughest and hottest war zone on earth. After the tactical retreat
of their predecessors, the Paras, the Marines knew they would have
to take a different approach to have any chance of success. So they
took the war to the enemy. Roving and aggressive, the Commandos
forced the insurgent Taliban on to the back foot. As a result, they
were involved in daily fire fights of an intensity not encountered
by British troops since North Korea. 3 Commando Brigade is a
thrilling first-hand account of that dogged, heroic pursuit of the
Taliban by the ordinary Marines, sailors and soldiers responsible.
It is a story of valour, fortitude, supreme physical and mental
fitness, and unrivalled professionalism under the most testing of
circumstances. The account explodes from the first page with
Operation Glacier, a graphic, no-holds-barred account of a Commando
attack on a key Taliban base south of Garmsir - a battle that ends
with the dramatic recovery of a Corporal's body from alongside the
fort by Apache helicopters. From this opening salvo the action
never lets up, offering a startlingly honest account of the war in
Afghanistan as told by the junior officers, corporals and marines
on the ground.
