- Summary
- "This is the gripping story of the Royal Irish Battlegroup's 2008 tour in Afghanistan's Helmand province, often told in the words of those on the ground. After celebrating St. Patrick's Day 2008, the Battlegroup deployed as part of the 16 Air Assault Brigade, and for six months, fought the Taliban in Helmand in some of the most difficult country on earth. Their tasks included training the nascent Afghan National Army (ANA) and many of its engagements were alongside Afghan soldiers"--Dust jacket.
