Alongside the SAS, Harry's other lifetime love is cricket. An improvised game of cricket was often the circuit-breaker Harry and his team needed after the tension of operations. He began a tradition of organising matches wherever he was sent, whether it was in the mountains of East Timor with a fugitive rebel leader, or on the dusty streets of Baghdad, or in exposed Forward Operating Bases in the hills of Afghanistan. Soldiers, locals and even visiting politicians played in these spontaneous yet often bridge-building games.
As part of the tradition, Harry also started to take a cricket bat with him on operational tours, eleven of them in total. They'd often go outside the wire with him and end up signed by those he met or fought alongside. These eleven bats form the basis for Harry's extraordinary memoir. It's a story about combat, and what it takes to serve in one of the world's most elite formations. It's a story about the toll that war takes on soldiers and their loved ones. And it's a story about the healing power of cricket, and how a game can break down borders in even the most desperate of circumstances.
‘A superbly evocative story of cricket and war. It’s not just cricket. And it’s not just war. It’s both, and it’s compelling.’ PETER FITZSIMONS
‘A compelling soldier’s story of combat, survival and backyard cricket in a war zone. Harry Moffitt’s unforgotten wars make an unforgettable story.’ JIM MAXWELL
