On February 28 2008 to great international surprise the British Ministry of Defense released a statement acknowledging that Prince Harry--son of the late Princess Diana & third in line to the British throne--had secretly been deployed to Afghanistan. Subsequent reports revealed that the prince had killed up to thirty Taliban insurgents in directing at least three air strikes & that he had helped Gurkha troops repel a ground attack of Taliban insurgents using a machine gun. On Februrary 29 Prince Harry was withdrawn from the country with distinction via a covert SAS deployment. This is the amazing story of the first British royal to serve his country in 25 years & his 10 heroic weeks of combat.
