THE BRITISH INFANTRY
Book Review by Lieutenant General Andrew Graham CB CBE, late A&SH Infantry Colonel Commandant 2013-Present: The infantry is "The Arm that wins battles," to quote Field Marshal Earl Wavell. That assertion is as true today as it was in the 1930's and it is therefore essential to read the first part of The British Infantry as Dr./Col. Philip ('Tom') Cobley brings to life a selection of the campaigns, operations, and battles in which British infantrymen have taken a pivotal role. The author also highlights the essential personal attributes required of an infantry soldier, which include leadership, initiative and tenacity, as well as the tactical and capability attributes required of an effective...
Notes From A Small Military
Stumbling from a university anarchist meeting into a career in the army, Chip Chapman is conscious of how very incompetent he is. The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst confirms his worst fears. He is eventually let loose on 6 Platoon of 2 PARA and, via the Falklands War, manages to elevate himself to a position of conscious competence and save his career. An insight into a generation of soldiering in the late 20th century and beyond, this hilarious, touching, informative, and thought-provoking memoir is set against the drumbeat of the social, cultural, and legal rhythms of the age, and the change from the certainties of the Cold War to the nihilism of 9/11. With shades of David Niven's The Moon's a Balloon, Lesley Thomas's Virgin Soldiers, and the travelogs of Bill Bryson, Chapman captures the rawness, spirit, and fortitude of the soldier in both peace and war.
With the Paras in Helmand
Craig Allen, a Paratrooper for 29 years, returned to 2 PARA as a reservist and unofficial photographer for the BattlegroupÍs dramatic 2008 Tour in Helmand. As both a respected soldier and photographer he had unrivaled access to the fighting and moved from area to area following the action. Every evening he wrote up his experiences and those of the men he was with, whose trust he had as ïa member of the clubÍ. He had a ringside seat to a very costly summer tour, with the Taliban proving themselves worthy enemies to even the most elite British Army soldiers. His story tells in superb action photographs and no-nonsense prose of the hardships, courage, fears and cost suffered by front line soldiers over prolonged periods. He captures the color of life and death in Afghanistan for both combatants and the luckless civilian population caught up in this vicious spiral of war. An unforgettable book which has true visual appeal.
