'An adrenalin-fuelled, gritty story of heroism' Andy McNab
In 2010 Captain Johnny Mercer was on his third tour of Afghanistan in an area of northern Helmand that had seen some of the heaviest fighting of the campaign. A Joint Fires Controller, with the pressurized job of bringing down artillery and air strikes in close proximity to his own troops, he walked into danger with every patrol, determined to protect them. Then one morning, in brutal close-quarter combat, everything changed . . .
In We Were Warriors Johnny describes what it is like to risk your life every day, to push through the fear that follows watching your friends die. He took the fight back to the enemy with a relentless efficiency that came at a high personal cost. Back in the UK, seeing the inadequate care available for his men, he ran for Parliament in the hope he could improve their plight. Unflinchingly honest, action-packed and laced with wry humour, this is an unforgettable read by a remarkable man.
'The best first-hand account in a war zone I've ever read. Brutally honest, humble and written with a pace that could induce a heart attack' Tom Marcus, ex-MI5 Surveillance Officer and author of Soldier, Spy
