An ordinary soldier : Afghanistan - a ferocious enemy, a bloody conflict, one man's impossible mission
Beattie, Doug, 1965-2008
Books
This title tells of the comradeship and day-to-day life in a country where you can trust no one but your own battalion. Above all, it is Beattie's personal story of being what he modestly calls 'an ordinary soldier' - someone who balances being a loving father and husband with that of fighting in the world's most hostile place.
