''I''ve spent 15 years waiting for a book which entertainingly brings to life the humour, mundanity & absurdity of serving in Iraq . . Thankfully this is that book and it is excellent'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
''Absolutely brilliant from start to finish . . . Just when you feel the situation is about to drop off a cliff (again!), Mulligan turns it around with a jab of wit as amusing yet as honest as the chance of surviving in a Snatch Land Rover in BasraRead it in three evenings'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
-------
Owain Mulligan was never what you''d call a career soldier. Nor even a particularly good one. At weekends he trained with the Territorial Army and dreamt of swapping the mayhem of teaching in a tough school for the adventure of service in IraqAt least they''d let him wear a helmet in Iraq.
But when the job in headquarters he''s been expecting doesn''t materialise, he finds himself on the streets of Basra during one of the most violent periods of the conflict. Between homicidal militias, a chain of command who seem determined to get him killed, and equipment which might well do it for them, he and his men have their work cut outIt certainly puts double geography with 9E into perspective.
The Accidental Soldier is a searingly honest and darkly funny account of what it was really like being in the British Army in Iraq (including all the bits they probably hoped you''d never find out)We share all the hardships, fears, and occasional lunacy of military life as Owain and his men try to navigate a war gone badly wrong. One thing''s for sure; you''ll never look at the phrase ''military precision'' in quite the same way again...
