Overview

Paratrooper Lance-Corporal Vincent Bramley's account of his experiences in the frontline of modern warfare is a testament that could stand for any soldier who has to cope with fatigue, fear, aggression, carnage and death. It is a story filled with compassion and brutality in almost equal measure. Most of all, it is a story of confusion - confusion in the heat of battle and confusion in the hearts and souls of ordinary men.

Author Information

Vincent Bramley was born in Aldershot in 1957. He left school at fifteen, but it wasn't until 1978 that, at the prompting of an ex-paratrooper, he joined the Parachute Regiment. His first posting was in West Germany, where he specialised in machine-gun fire. He subsequently served in Canada, Oman, Northern Ireland and the Falklands. He left the army in 1987 and now works as a building consultant, when he isn't writing or conducting research.
