A brilliant book, telling of one mans part in 2 Paras historic battle at Goose Green in The Falklands.
So good to read a brutally honest book laced with typical squaddie humour and clearly written by someone that was there in the thick of it, as opposed to some 'Rubber Desk Johnny General' that was 'At the rear behind the beer'
An excellent book that I just couldn't put down.

The shelves are inundated with 'SAS' books, and adventure stories. There's a lot of books being written about Iraq and Afghanistan too, only a small number of which are actually worth reading IMHO, and this is one of them.

He describes the scenes, the politics, the dangers and the friendships very well indeed, and he doesn't try and make it into something it isn't.

For students of any mental health profession, this is an essential text. If you have ever come across Maurice Sainsbury's "Key to Psychiatry", found its approach direct, concise and waffle-free and longed for a more up-to-date text like it, this is it.

Packed as it is with key facts and concise, clear explanations there is little room left for waxing lyrical! But if you like your text books to-the-point, with plenty of bullet-pointed tables elucidating concepts at-a-glance and set out under easy-to-find headings in bite-size chunks, this text does it without using the rich detail needed.
