500			_aSummary: The tale of the Welsh Guards in Afghanistan in 2009. Under equipped and overstretched, they found themselves in Helmand in some of the most intense fighting by British troops for more than a generation. Leading them into battle was Lieutenant Colonel Rupert Thorneloe, a passionate believer in the war but dismayed by how it was being conducted. A timeless account of men at war, conveying what it is like to be a soldier who has to kill, face paralyzing fear and watch comrades perish in agony
