'A storyteller who knows the humour, the fear and the frenzy of men in battle' - BERNARD CORNWELL
Afghanistan again. The filth, the fighting, the fierce enemy, the unconquerable terrain. They are all familiar... but this story happened more than a century ago.
Brigadier-General Anthony Morgan arrives in Kandahar to fight against a tribal uprising. He has no idea of what is about to hit him. In addition to the culture shock and political infighting among the British soldiers, Morgan must also deal with his two sons. Both under his command, they fight for different regiments, and only one is his legitimate heir. Their bitter rivalry will end up putting all three lives in danger…
Red Runs The Helmand is a brilliantly told story of the 19th-century Afghan wars that combines military authenticity with breath-taking adventure.
Praise for Red Runs the Helmand
'A finely drawn depiction of the battles and camaraderie of war' - Daily Mail
