Colonel Stuart Tootal is the first senior commander to provide an
account of the fighting in Afghanistan. A gritty portrayal of
unforgiving conflict, Danger Close captures the essence of combat,
the risks involved and the aftermath. 3 PARA was the first unit
into Helmand in 2006. Sent on a peace mission, it became engaged in
a level of combat that has not been experienced by the British Army
since the end of the Korean War. Undermanned and suffering from
equipment shortages, 3 PARA fought doggedly to win the break in
battle. Numerous gallantry decorations were awarded, but they were
not without cost. On returning from Afghanistan, Tootal fought to
get proper treatment for his wounded and feeling frustrated with
the Government's treatment of its soldiers, he resigned from the
Army. This is a dramatic, and often moving insight into the
leadership of soldiers and the sharp end of war.
