Author Description

7 April 2004: a year to the day since the city had fallen. Saddam had been deposed. The Marines and the Paras were long gone and Southern Iraq rarely made it into the news. When Sgt Dan Mills and the rest of the 1st Battalion, The Princess of Wales' Royal Regiment flew in, they were supposed to be winning hearts and minds. They were soon fighting for their lives. Sniper One is a breathtaking chronicle of endurance, camaraderie, dark humour and courage in the face of relentless, lethal assault.
