I finished reading this book some weeks ago, but I’m not quite sure how to exactly review it.. so this post most likely will be quite brief.
3 Para is a look into the accounts of the 3rd Battalion Parachute Regiment’s deployment in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. Rather than trying to explain the book in-depth like I have with previous reviews, I found a comment on Amazon by someone else who also purchased and read it. To be honest, it pretty much sums up my thoughts on the book as well..
“I expected it to be a first hand account where you feel like you are there with the actual soldiers, but this is nothing like that at all. It is all a sort of mix up of whats going on in different places at different times, and is altogether quite confusing to be honest.”
In saying that, it was a reasonably good read. But unfortunately not a must have for the bookshelf.
