What's in the issue

Britain's most recent conflict in Afghanistan spanned more than a decade of close combat fighting.

Now our new Bookazine reveals why the UK deployed troops as part of a Coalition force and explains how they were initially welcomed the local community.

As part of our new Modern Conflict series, the first volume documents soldiers' exploits in firefights against the Taliban, while part two covers the training of the Afghan Army and Police.

If you are interested in our armed forces, are studying military history at school, or have a relative who served in Afghanistan,  this two part series is a must read.
