I love these honest accounts from a soldier who doesn't pretend to be anything other than he is , a brilliant soldier from a hard back ground, if you like me and a British military fan you will enjoy this book, it's not quite in the same league as Operation Mayhem but it's not far off.

Non-fiction personal account of a British Royal Marine highlighting battles in Afghanistan and Iraq. It's a quick read. There's little mention of strategy, or overall plans as the men go out on patrol and get into firefights. Straightforward stuff.

Scary, real life account of a Royal Marine in Iraq & why he earned the George Cross ..
