Black Ops: Heroes of Afghanistan #1
Heroes of Afghanistan
Eric Meyer
As it begins this book reads like many others I've encountered which appear to be from a vet suffering PTSD venting his angst in the wake of the trauma he has suffered. In fact the author is British and has written 30 similar books about military service and did serve in the Sandbox. Both the British and Canadians were sucked into America's war of reprisal in Afghanistan by politicians eager to curry favour with the US.
This book goes on to look at life from the side of ordinary Afghani citizens. Half the population is addicted to opium and the vendettas and hatreds and blood feuds make the Hatfields and the McCoys look like school yard tiffs.
Given the location violence and bloodshed is a given.
Loyalty and true love win all it seems.
