Book of the Week - The Junior Officer's Reading Club - The Road to Sangin

Patrick Hennessey reads his soldier's tale for the 21st century; an account of his experiences at Sandhurst and then on deployment in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan's Helmand Province. From Iraq to Helmand Province and the road to Sangin. Battle contact, so long anticipated, proves satisfying for Hennessey and Operation Silicon is a success. But they must now fight their way up to Sangin, as the casualties mount. A Sweet Talk production for BBC Radio 4.
