Danger Close by Col. Stuart Tootal
Just read Stuart Tootal's book "Danger Close". You may remember that he commanded 3 Para on their first visit to Afghanistan.
A really good read. I found myself muttering "Bloody Hell!" (or similar words) at least once every page.
I know that it is an army view of the conflict, but his kind words for both the RAF helicopter crews and the American helicopter and ground attack crews provoke some interesting thoughts. He is less enthusiastic regarding certain other air operations.
As to the medical treatment of the injured in a certain Birmingham hospital...I can only hope that things have improved in recent months.
Let us hope that some of the vast "tail" of non-combatants in the MOD manage to pick up a copy on the way to their next battle on the golf course.
