Résumé
For the first time in a generation British soldiers are once again fighting at close quarters, coming under sustained and vicious firepower in some of the most violent fighting the modern army has endured. Yet the same soldiers also serve… on international peacekeeping missions, or counter insurgency. Sometimes they do all three in the same country. The Junior Officers' Reading Club is the story of how one of these soldiers was made, through the breeding ground of Sandhurst, out into the nightmare of Iraq and Afghanistan's Helmand Province, pinned down by the Taliban, living only from moment to moment.
