good story July 23, 2008 M. J. Cashin Colin is definetly ex army:he knows the drills. Whether he is ex SF is oprn to some interpretation. The story is excellent; the historical references are public knowledge. I can't prove or disprove this book.I want it to be real. As an 'armchair warrior' (I wish it were different) with forces experience, I can feel the reality. I wish you luck mate ! Never one to water anothers barbeque ! Baaaaaah (as general Melchitt would have said ) MOD

WELL WRITTEN AND ENTERTAINING April 16, 2008 JAKE'S MIX 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK. THERE'S A LOT OF THESE EX-SAS/MILITARY BOKS AND A LOT OF THEM ARE CRAP. I LOVED MCNAB AND RYAN BOOKS, BUT SO MANY TRY TO BE THAT BUT ARE WAY OFF THE MARK AND COMPETE BULL. THIS IS DIFFERENT - COLIN GETS INVOLVED IN ALL OF THE TROUBLES IN AFGHAN IN A LESS CONVENTIONAL WAY, WHICH EADS TO A SHOOT OUT AND PRISON TIME BEING SERVED IN STINK AFGHAN JAIL. IM SURE THERE'S SOME FICTION ADDED TO SPICE IT UP A LITTE, BUT SHOW ME A BOOK IN THIS VEIN WHERE IT HASN'T. EXCITING AND HIGHLY ENTERTAINING TO READ, ALTHOUGH MUST HAVE BEEN HELL TO LIVE. MUST READ............
Well worth a read! March 10, 2008 MattS 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
A well written account of events in Afghanistan. I found this hard to put down. The tales of torture and abandonment made you feel for Colin Berry. In places it is shocking to read about the ways one human being can treat another. Even so, I would definitely recommend this.
Disappointing October 28, 2007 Dave from Kabul 3 out of 6 found this review helpful
This comes across mainly as a "boy's own" adventure tale gone wrong, although there is no denying Colin Berry's suffering while doing time in an Afghan prison. Perhaps if he had done his homework he would never have gone there in the first place, what did he expect? The book paints a very narrow and negative picture of Afghans and Afghanistan and the author appears to have very little empathy or sympathy for a people that have battled the odds against 30 years of war and conflict.
