BLOOD, SWEAT and STEEL
Frontline accounts from the Gulf, Afghanistan and Iraq
By Peter Darman
Published: 1 July 2010 Price: £9.99 pb
Many hundreds of thousands of individuals have now fought in Iraq and Afghanistan since the First Gulf War was triggered by Saddam HusseinÂs invasion of Kuwait 20 years ago. Thousands of soldiers and civilians have lost their lives in the ensuing conflicts and the War on Terror, and many more have been wounded, their lives changed forever by combat.
Behind every statistic and headline is an individual whose response to conflict is unique. In his new book Blood, Sweat and Steel Peter Darman goes behind the headlines to present personal stories from a cross-section of nationalities and services from British Infantry and US Marines to Canadian doctors and former Iraqi captains. These eye-witness accounts shine a light on some of the big questions provoked by the complexities and hardships of modern warfare, and also reveal the human side of soldiering.
