About this listen

In 2006 a British peace-keeping force was sent to Helmand province in southern Afghanistan. Within weeks they were cut off and besieged by the Taliban. Here, in their own words and for the first time, are the young veterans of Herrick 4- alongside the words of the Taliban themselves. Fergusson examines the war in Helmand and asks this most troubling question: could Britain have avoided the violence altogether?

This is a good book, it covers a one year period in Afghanistan of British effort to pacify Helmand province, I'm amazed at some of the narrow escapes their are! Recommended!

Great insight to various aspects of the war in Afghanistan, sadly the speed of the narration will eventually get on your nerves, as its a tad to slow.

Still worth a listen though

Great story, poorr narration

I had no idea just how complex an engagement this book scratches the surface of, and would encourage anyone else, who like me has only a rough idea of what is going on as informed by media headlines, listen to this.
Well presented engaging stories, illustrating some of the complexities and contradictions of NATO in Afghanistan.

Tough stuff, and a must listen

This must be read/heard by everyone with an interest in COIN operations. It pulls no punches. the narration is perfect. what we need now is for the author to update it as at 2020.

Outstanding

It’s hard to listen to this due to the guy reading it. Its like he has no idea what he’s reading about and very disjointed.

Good book poorly read in my opinion.

This is a great and fascinating book, but the narrator is truly AWFUL and ruins the whole experience. Really disappointed, I kept losing interest in it, due to the sheer monotone boredom of his voice, totally wrong for this type of book. The publishers should be ashamed of this recording.

Great book AWFUL NARRATOR.

the book is a great read. my issue is with the way the narrator reads individual inputs of soldiers. perhaps the grammar they used in interview was indeed poor but I seriously doubt they sound as slow and dim witted as th narrator makes them sound. Frankly I feel its inappropriate.

Great content, awful narration

What didn’t you like about Joe Dunlop’s performance?

Well spoken and easy to understand but painfully, painfully wooden.

Any additional comments?

A very important story but sounds like it was read by a text-to-speech app.

Interesting story, told by an android.

A great history of the British Army's time in the early days of Op HERRICK, only negative is the authors very slow reading. Example the machine gun GPMG is read as "Geee Peeeeee emmmmm Geeeeeeee"

Great history of the British Army's experience

Enjoyed the audiobook, good story and analysis of the conflict. The narration is a little wooden though.

Good, but wooden narration
