He has encountered some of the most dangerous gangs in the world. Now Ross Kemp risks all to tell the story of the British soldier in Afghanistan …

When Ross Kemp first went to Afghanistan with his father’s old regiment, he knew it was going to be tough. But nothing could prepare him for life in Helmand Province with the British Forces as they fight a determined and fanatical enemy- the Taliban. In this remarkable book, Ross tells what it is like to come under fire and witness life and death on the front line.

It’s the closest he’s ever come to dying. Over two summer tours and one winter tour, he and the men endure the constant threat of Taliban snipers, RPG attacks and improvised explosive devices. He sees at first hand the devastation caused by twenty-first century warfare

not only on the battlefield but also in the homes of British servicemen and with the ordinary civilians of Afghanistan.

Ross Kemp on Afghanistan tells the inside story of his time in a war-torn country. It is a fascinating, horrifying and often moving insight into the brutal reality ordinary soldiers have to face in one of the world’s most dangerous and volatile regions.
