Double Crossed - A Fighting Man Under Fire

Informationen zum Autor Brian Wood MC, former Colour Sergeant, Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment, was awarded the Military Cross, one of Britain's highest awards for gallantry in combat, by the Queen, following his courageous leadership under enemy fire in Iraq. During a 16-year military career, Brian led British troops across the spectrum of battle: from training to fighting; from operations in the Balkans to high-intensity combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Brian is a frequent broadcaster, and is also a highly inspirational public speaker, delivering compelling sessions on leadership and grit. This is his first book. Brian lives in Hampshire, with his wife and their two children. Klappentext The former soldier reflects on the acts of extreme bravery in the Iraq War that earned him the Military Cross, the severe PTSD that set in upon his return, and having to contend with allegations of war crimes in this time - eventually vindicated of these but this small respite for the sense of betrayal. Zusammenfassung The Sunday Times BestsellerAt the age of 23, Brian Wood was thrust into the front line in Iraq, in the infamous Battle of Danny Boy.
