Table of Contents

“One of the best firsthand accounts of combat that I’ve ever read.” —Andy McNab

“Mills powerfully describes the demanding work of his snipers before and after the city was brought under control (more or less). . . . British participation in Iraq has been largely ignored in the United States. That should change with Mills’s page-turning account, already an international bestseller.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Possibly the year’s best book, so far, on combat in Iraq.” —Booklist

“Another testosterone-laced memoir of an elite unit kicking butt in Iraq, this one with a cheerful, politically incorrect British twist. . . . A military memoir refreshingly devoid of the usual patriotic overlay.” —Kirkus Reviews
