Officers, NCOs and other ranks representing a wide variety of units - infantry, artillery, signals, logistics, aviation, medical - contribute their thoughts and experiences on everything from what it's like to take on the Taliban in a firefight to the difficulties of trying to eat well at a patrol base. These personal accounts give a picture of the conflict at ground level, the details of daily life that usually do not make the news, as well as individuals' perspectives on major events. Some of the bloggers have even been asked to contribute to the Radio 4 Today Programme and Channel 4 News. With the war in Afghanistan in the news almost constantly, this is a timely book which tells the real story of what it's like for our troops on the ground. 538 System requirements: Adobe Digital editions. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Soldiers|zGreat Britain|vBlogs. 650 0 Afghan War, 2001-2021|vPersonal narratives, British. 650 7 HISTORY / Military / General.|2bisacsh 651 0 Great Britain|xArmed Forces|zAfghanistan|vBlogs. 655 0 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aSmyth, Paul.|tBlogging from the battlefield.|dStroud : Spellmount, 2011.|z9780752464343 (pbk.)|w(DLC)2011535332 914 frd00010176
