Keep Your Head Down: One Commando's Brutally Honest Account Of Fighting In Afghanistan

Keep Your Head Down: One Commando's Brutally Honest Account Of Fighting In Afghanistan

Synopsis

Having written about his experiences in various international disaster zones, Nathan Mullins turns his attention to war zones when he volunteers to go to Afghanistan as a member of the Second Commando Company. (Commandos are the equivalent in the army to the SAS in the air force.) In Uruzgan province his company is the only military game in town. In Keep Your Head Down Nathan talks frankly and amusingly about the warrior culture, the hearts and minds campaigns and the adrenalin buzz of being in a firefight and under attack that keeps you coming back for more. Survival means learning to read the signs - who is friend and who is foe, and he and his mates save the lives of children and villagers caught in the cross-fire or by the treacherous roadside bombs (that wouldn't be there if it were not for the presence of the soldiers). Keep Your Head Down is what you would get if a painfully honest Paul Carter went to war.
