Reviews
...a powerful, brutally honest, soldier's account of the operational, societal and morale challenges faced by the British Army from the moment the Berlin Wall fell. * Military Historical Society Bulletin 11/05/2021 *
...an enjoyable and well researched history. [...] It is a must read for anyone with an interest in how the army has continued beyond 1991, and probably should be read by many of ARRSE's old and bold who are still stuck in the cold war. * Army Rumour Service 16/08/2021 *
This is an absorbing analysis of what it was like to serve during the most intense series of operations since the Second World War. [...] It is an insightful review fo the cultural shifts, the impact of almost continuous overseas deployment and the disruption created by ever-changing policies. * Soldier Magazine 11/05/2021 *
Andrew Richards provides a thoroughly absorbing account made all the more interesting due to the wide-ranging contributions of men and women who were there, did the jobs, experienced the changes and often have the scars to prove it. An excellent read. * Love Reading 02/08/2021 *
