Modern-day heroes fighting modern-day wars. Spoken from the Front recounts the courage and hardship of British servicemen and support staff as they have faced the unique difficulties posed by the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan. As bestselling author Andy McNab says himself, these are "modern-day heroes fighting modern-day wars." Andy introduces and edits the book, but the interwoven stories are told by those serving on the front line, in their own words. Their action-packed, dramatic, moving and often humourous testimonies are told by way of interviews, diaries, letters and emails written to family, friends and loved ones. Styled loosely on the Imperial War Museum's highly-successful "Forgotten Voices" series, Spoken from the Front focuses on a smaller number of central characters who turn up repeatedly throughout the narrative.
