Desert of Death ( Editura: Faber and Faber/Books Outlet, Autor: Leo Docherty ISBN 9780571236893 )

This is a devastating first-hand account of the current war in Afghanistan. "Desert of Death" is a brilliantly vivid on-the-ground report of the events which led to the fiercest fighting faced by UK troops since the Korean War. It is a story of bravery and making-do, of farce and misadventure, and above all it is an unforgettable story of war in the twenty-first century.
