Sometimes the toughest battle you fight is with yourself... Two tours of Iraq
under his belt, Sergeant Dave Henley has seen something of how modern battles
are fought. But nothing can prepare him for the posting to Forward Operating
Base Senzhiri, Helmand Province, Afghanistan. This is a warzone like even he.s
never seen before. He.s in charge of 1 Platoon, a ragbag collection of rookies
who he must meld into a fighting force, and fast. The Afghanistan conflict is
as harsh and unforgiving as the country itself. Their convoy is ambushed before
they even reach the FOB, and two of his men are grievously wounded, one scorched
beyond recognition, the other left with only one leg. Back at home, the families
of the men . and women . at the front wait anxiously for news. Dave.s wife,
Jenny, seven months pregnant, must try to hold together the fragile lives of
those they left behind, all of whom remain in constant dread of the knock on
the door and the visit from the Families Officer, whose job it is to deliver
the bad news. War Torn traces the interwoven stories of one platoon.s experience
of warfare in the Twenty First Century. Packed with the searing danger and high-
octane excitement of modern combat, it also explores the impact of its aftershocks
upon the soldiers themselves, and upon those who love them. It will take you
straight into the heat of battle and the hearts of those who are burned by it.
