I too have read this book, and while PPRUNE is not about promoting peoples books and work, I firmly believe that Hammond has provided a voice for the Odiham Chinook force. The book is very well written and tells the tale of 2006 with a balance of honesty, humour and humility whilst providing background and setting to the conditions of that era in the Afghan conflict. What the guys and girls of the Chinook force are doing out there, while being recognised in public by awards such as the Millies and countless DFC's, MiDs, QCVS etc, is a story that was crying out to be told to the great general public.
The fact that it is NOT a book all about a Royal Marine, who just happened to be flying an RAF Chinook when he was awarded the DFC, makes it even more honest and readable. But make up your own minds if you read it.
As a precentage is going to H4H, it was a no brainer for me.
