About this listen

We all saw it at once. Half a dozen voices screamed, 'Grenade!' simultaneously. Then everything went into slow motion. The grenade took an age to travel through its 20 metre arc. A dark, small oval-shaped package of misery the size of a peach....

April 2004: Dan Mills and his platoon of snipers flew into Southern Iraq, part of an infantry battalion sent to win hearts and minds. They were soon fighting for their lives.

Back home we were told they were peacekeeping. But there was no peace to keep. Because within days of arriving in theatre, Mills and his men were caught up in the longest, most sustained firefight British troops had faced for over 50 years.

This awe-inspiring account tells of total war in throat-burning winds and 50-degree heat, blasted by mortars and surrounded by heavily armed militias. For six months they fought alone: isolated, besieged and under constant enemy fire. Their heroic stand was a modern-day Rorke's Drift.

Probably the audiobook I've most enjoyed so far.
I'd never really known the story before so didn't know what to expect. But was pleasantly surprised.

Great story, well told.

absolutely loved it, brought me back to the good old days with a true account of the relentless action the British Army faced on Op Telic!

Fantastic

Amazing story, at times the narrator did start to grind on me but when you are caught up in the action, this can be overseen.

Amazing first person account

A very interesting true story of which Dan Mills ought to be proud of. It was gripping and exciting and gave you the feeling at times I was with them. Pleased I purchased this book
