Extended description

The British Army handed over responsibility for Sangin District to US Marines in late 2010. Set in the heart of Afghanistan's Helmand Province, UK forces left that troubled town after four bloody years fighting against a determined and ruthless insurgent threat. This is the story of Sangin as it was in the summer of 2009, told from a foreigner's perspective, but seen through Afghan
Eyes.Employed as mentor to the Afghan National Police during his last tour in the town Woodbridge spent over six months living, working and fighting alongside members of that much maligned but critically important organisation, gaining a privileged view of their work and insight into their world.

His experiences from those two tours provide the background for this unique perspective on the difficulties and dangers involved when working, living and surviving on the front line of Afghanistan’s insurgency.
