Drawing on access to the soldiers and their experiences on operations, he examines what has changed on the ground and what remains painfully familiar. Accounts of demanding missions, danger and comradeship sit alongside questions about command, strategy and the meaning of progress in a complex campaign. The book pays close attention to the human realities behind military plans, including the strain carried by troops who already know the country and its risks. This follow-up to 3 Para offers an account of the conflict through the men tasked with carrying out Britain's mission.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68097068400852,"sku":"TVJ-035674","price":16.1,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-035674-1.jpg?v=1793068867","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/ground-truth-3-para-return-to-afghanistan-bishop","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
