Danger Close: Commanding 3 PARA in Afghanistan by Stuart Tootal
Danger Close: Commanding 3
PARA In Afghanistan By Stuart
Tootal
    This is a compelling and
    human portrait of modern
    war. Colonel Stuart
    Tootal is the first
    senior commander to
    provide an account of the
    fighting in Afghanistan.
    A gritty portrayal of
    unforgiving conflict,
    Danger Close captures the
    essence of combat, the
    risks involved and the
    aftermath. 3 PARA was the
    first unit into Helmand
    in 2006. Sent on a peace
    mission, it became
    engaged in a level of
    combat that has not been
    experienced by the
    British Army since the
    Korean War. Undermanned
    and suffering from
    equipment shortages, 3
    PARA fought doggedly to
    win the break in battle.
    Numerous gallantry
    decorations were awarded,
    but they were not
    without cost. On
    returning from
    Afghanistan, Tootal
    fought to get proper
    treatment for his wounded
    and feeling frustrated
    with the Government's
    treatment of its
    soldiers, he resigned
    from the Army. This is a
    dramatic, and often
    moving, insight into the
    leadership of soldiers
    and the sharp end of war.

Leading From The Front by General Sir Richard Dannatt
Leading From The Front By
General Sir Richard Dannatt
    Dannatt has been
    decorated for his
    physical courage, though
    he skates lightly over it
    here. But moral courage
    is often much harder to
    exercise, for it takes
    real determination to
    break ranks, to
    challenge accepted views,
    to be an unsettling
    guest in a world of
    compromise and, by
    implication, to
    criticize old and valued
    comrades. During his time
    as professional head of
    the Army Richard Dannatt
    showed courage in
    confronting the
    challenges it faced, and
    if he sticks his neck out
    in the pages that follow
    it is surely no more than
    to follow the principle
    that characterized his
    career

Mountbatten of Burma by Ian McGeogh
Mountbatten Of Burma By Ian
McGeogh
    There have been many
    biographies of
    Mountbatten, but none by
    a naval officer, still
    les by one whose career
    was broadly contemporary
    with, albeit junior to,
    Mountbatten's. This book,
    written by someone who
    himself commanded
    warships and contributed
    to defence strategy,
    analyses and often
    dismisses the
    ill-informed criticism
    and highlights the
    remarkable vision and
    persuasive powers of a
    man who had to overcome
    the 'disadvantage' of
    royal lineage in order to
    be taken seriously as an
    officer and defence
    strategist.

Pick Up Your Parrots nd Monkeys The Life of a Boy Soldier in India by William Pennington
Pick Up Your Parrots Nd
Monkeys The Life Of A Boy
Soldier In India By William
Pennington
    Pick up your parrots and
    monkeys, and fall in
    facing the boat' was the
    traditional last order
    given to a detachment of
    British soldiers heading
    home from India. William
    Pennington first heard it
    from the 'old salts' he
    met on the docks as he
    arrived in India at the
    age of 15. Joining up at
    the tender age of 14,
    William had been
    intrigued by the army's
    promise of adventure and
    glory, and by the chance
    to see the most exotic
    corners of the world.
    After training at the
    Boy's Depot in Woolwich,
    he became a bugler in the
    horse artillery, and was
    posted to India in the
    1930s, where life was
    little changed from the
    days of Kipling. Within
    years however, the
    British would accept the
    end of the Raj and leave
    India forever. After a
    brief recall to Britain,
    Pennington was posted to
    Burma as a forward
    observation officer at
    the very forefront of the
    action against the
    Japanese. It was for this
    role in this devastating
    campaign that he was to
    win the Military Cross
    for bravery in the
    battlefield.

The Secret Lives of Somerset Maugham by Selina Hastings
The Secret Lives Of Somerset
Maugham By Selina Hastings
    For nearly sixty years
    Somerset Maugham
    (1874-1965) was one of
    the most famous writers
    in the world. An
    enormously successful
    playwright and the author
    of over a hundred short
    stories and twenty-one
    novels - several of which
    are now established
    classics - Maugham
    expertly concealed a
    private life.
    Predominantly homosexual,
    and deeply in love with
    the charming but
    dissolute Gerald Haxton,
    he made a disastrous
    marriage to Syrie
    Wellcome which he would
    escape by travelling and
    writing extensively in
    the Far East. A talented
    linguist, during both
    world wars Maugham worked
    for British Intelligence.
    In between he moved in
    literary and theatrical
    circles in London, New
    York and Hollywood and
    entertained lavishly at
    his luxurious villa in
    the south of France.
    Outwardly his life was
    richly rewarding, but
    privately he suffered
    anguish from an
    unrequited love affair
    and a shocking final
    betrayal. Acclaimed
    biographer Selina
    Hastings has had access
    to Maugham's extensive
    private correspondence as
    well as to important
    family testimony, which
    sheds a fascinating new
    light on this complex and
    extraordinary man. This
    book has 614 pages and is
    19.8cm x 12.9cm x 3.7cm
