1.		3 Para from HarperPerennial Price: £3.99 Customer Review: This book is indeed fantastic to read, it is well researched and gives a slightly more wholesome view of what our boys are up against. My only criticism, not meaning to take anything away from the author, is that the book is not written as if a soldier is talking, but rather from a third person... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Eight Lives Down from Corgi Books Price: £4.48 Customer Review: Due to the current climate, there is alot of material coming from operational theatres and the quality seems to range from really good to truly excellent (Pete 'Walt' Mercer, hang your head in shame). All these stories, whether personal memoires (Sniper One,Eight Lives Down)or battlegroup actions... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Sod That for a Game of Soldiers from Kenton Publishing Price: £6.99 Customer Review: I was looking forward to reading this book as I have served with a couple of lads from both 2 & 3 Para who fought in the Falklands and have worked with many other Paras in more recent years. The book started off pretty dull about his life at school but soon got on track once he decided to... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		In Foreign Fields: Heroes of Iraq and Afganistan, In Their Own Words from Monday Books Price: £12.59 Customer Review: I wont go into detail about the content of the book, as others have done so on this page, and have probably made a better job than me! However this book should be made compulsopry reading for all children of school age. In an era when every one wants to be a "celebrity", and footballers &... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		Apache from HarperPress Price: £8.54 Customer Review: This is real boys own stuff. What a story, if only it were true, which sadly the majority is not. If you like the old commando comics then this and Andy Mcnab's stuff will be right up your ally. But if you prefer to read about real heroics then go for some of the other books recounting the stories... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Crossfire from Corgi Books Price: £4.36 Customer Review: I've read all the McNab books, fiction and non-fiction and I have to say that this is one of his best fiction books to date. The Nick Stone series did get a bit dry at points, but this book really had me totally, totally engrossed. Reading it makes you want to go out, run 12 miles and join the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		Ross Kemp In Afghanistan [2008] from 2 Entertain Video Price: £7.98 Customer Review: It's strange to see a action movies' actor "acting" in a real battlecamp. The tour of Ross Kemp (Ultimate Force and so on) with the british troops in Afghanistan is very interesting. He make a hystory of the deployment of Vikings beginning from the preparation at home. The scenes at Camp Bastion and... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		Seven Troop from Bantam Press Price: £9.00 Customer Review: Not a lot going for this book. The author spends a lot of time explaining what broken and lost people some of his former comrades in arms are (most of this is described in other books by the people involved), and that war wrecks peoples lives so perhaps they need professional help. Not exactly news... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Soldier: The Autobiography from Bantam Press Price: £13.29 Customer Review: This book is a brilliant summary of recent European history, written in a very acceptable form. If you're fuzzy about the difference between Kosovo and Bosnia, or never really understood the Northern Ireland situation, this will give you a greater understanding.

10.		Making a Killing: The Explosive Story of a Hired Gun in Iraq from Virgin Books Price: £6.99 Customer Review: Overall I found it a very readable but there were a few points where I wondered if it was an accurate reflection of what actually happened or the temptation of the publishers to sex up the story to get more sales (as was done with Bravo Two Zero, amongst others). Certainly it isn't a wholesale... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
