‘This hugely timely book reveals in gripping detail the personal stories of its hidden victims – lest we forget.’ Damien Lewis
Trapped in an isolated outpost on the edge of the Helmand desert, a small force of British and Afghan soldiers is holding out against hundreds of Taliban fighters.
Under brutal siege conditions, running low on food and ammunition, he experiences the full horror of combat. As the casualties begin to mount and the enemy closes in, Evans finds both his leadership and his belief in the war severely tested.
Returning home, he is haunted by the memories of Afghanistan. He can’t move on and his life begins to spin out of control.
