"The story of 3 Para's 2006 Afghan operations has already, and
rightly, passed into British military legend. Rendered in the raw
language of a true fighting man... this is a tale of true British
grit, and epic endurance, and it is most definitely the real
thing." - Damien Lewis, bestselling author of Apache Dawn "For
anybody wishing to get inside the head of an airborne soldier in
order to better understand what motivates him, excites him,
frightens him and keeps him going when others have given up, Blood
Clot is an important book."- Lloyd Clark, RMA Sandhurst and author
of Arnhem: Jumping the Rhine 1944 and 1945 REVISED AND UPDATED WITH
AN ADDITIONAL NEW CHAPTER When the 3 Para battle group departed for
Helmand Province, south Afghanistan, little was known of what
awaited them on the battlefields of the Afghan desert. The reaction
of British government and media was one of shock but for the men on
the ground, the reality was far more grave. Within a month of
landing on foreign soil, the first of many skirmishes between the
Taliban and British forces began. As weeks went on, the fighting
increased. Resources were low and man power insufficient; for the
Paras, it was back to basics, living in holes in the ground in 60
degree temperatures. It looked as if it was going to be a rough and
gritty six-month deployment... The 3 Para battle group stand as
testament to the bravery, determination and sense of duty upheld in
British soldiers worldwide. This is their story- the very beginning
of the Afghan troubles in the south, the build up and lack of
support and equipment in the initial stages, the close and
dangerous fighting, the boredom of the open desert and the
uncontrollable sadness of friends killed and injured around them.
