Afghanistan, 2008. After their eighteen-month epic tour of Helmand
Province, the troops of 3 Para are back. This time, the weight of
experience weighs heavily on their shoulders. In April 2006 the
elite 3 Para Battle Group was despatched to Helmand Province,
Afghanistan, on a tour that has become a legend. All that summer
the Paras were subjected to relentless Taliban attacks in one of
the most gruelling campaigns fought by British troops in modern
times. Two years later the Paras are back in the pounding heat of
the Afghanistan front lines. The conflict has changed. The enemy
has been forced to adopt new weaponry and tactics. But how much
progress are we really making in the war against the insurgents?
And is there an end in sight? In this searing account of 3 Para's
return, bestselling author Patrick Bishop combines gripping,
first-person accounts of front-line action with an unflinching look
at the hard realities of our involvement in Afghanistan. Writing
from a position of exclusive access alongside the Paras, he reveals
the 'ground truth' of the mission our soldiers have been given.
It's a sombre picture. But shining out from it are stories of
courage, comradeship and humour, as well as a gripping account of
an epic humanitarian operation through Taliban-infested country to
deliver a vitally needed turbine to the Kajaki Dam. Frank,
action-packed and absorbing, 'Ground Truth' is a timely and
important book that will set the agenda for discussion of the
Afghan conflict for years to come.
