Description

A unique, full-colour, action-packed collection of true stories of heroism from the British Armed Forces. 'Real Heroes' is packed full of everything you could want to know about the inspirational bravery of the men and women involved in current conflicts. Discover a wealth of fascinating information about servicemen's kit, weapons, vehicles, survival aids, tactics, bases and frontline accounts of experiences of battle. Stunning feature-length animated strips depict the most thrilling action from the front line, from the Tora Bora cave clearance right up to the recent Operation Panther's Claw. Other features include detailed maps, interviews with key personnel, understanding Afghanistan, military awards, breakdowns of battle units and insightful pieces from expert authors including Ben Brown, Patrick Bishop, Christina Lamb, James Holland and Ed Macy. 'Real Heroes' is the perfect gift for anyone who wants to support our troops -- proceeds from the book will be donated to Help for Heroes, a tremendous charity set up to support the men and women of the British Armed Forces who are wounded in the line of duty. Exciting, eye-catching and informative, 'Real Heroes' is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about modern warfare, or simply enjoys a fast-paced account of real courage, comradeship and battle.
