Spoken From the Front
“I'm grateful to all those servicemen and women who have contributed to this book. Without their offerings – and their time and patience – there would have been no book. I am indebted to those who provided the outstanding raw material that I have simply had to edit.
More than twenty people have contributed three or more stories to this book. Each has a potted biography detailing his or her life and career before the first story they tell.
In addition to these servicemen and women, I would like t...o thank two soldiers for their single, but nevertheless significant, contributions.
The first is Captain Kate Philp, whom I met and interviewed during my visit to Afghanistan late last summer. She was charming and fun and I would have interviewed her again, but on 15 November 2008, the Warrior armoured vehicle she was travelling in was blasted by an improvised explosive device. Her left foot was so severely shattered that it had to be amputated. I salute her courage as she recovers from her injuries and I thank her for allowing me to publish her interview from last year.MoreLess
