But even amid the simplicity of mountain life, danger and tragedy lurked. His means of coping with the trauma of conflict was to travel back in his mind to his childhood in a remote Himalayan village in Nepal. On many occasions he has feared he would not live to see the end of the day - and, inevitably, he lost several friends and colleagues from the close-knit Gurkha brotherhood. He talks of other operations in which he has served - and, perhaps most movingly, of the other Gurkha soldiers - the united band of brothers - with whom he serves and on whom he relies every day. On dangerous resupply missions and on offensive patrols that took them to the heart of the 'killing zone', he and his men came under frequent attack from Taliban fighters. Kailash Limbu was in the front line of the fighting in Helmand Province. This is a searingly honest memoir by Kailash Limbu, a serving Gurkha soldier who undertook five tours of active service in Afghanistan. 'A humane and gripping book which proves beyond doubt why the Gurkhas are known as such formidable warriors.' - Sir Ranulph Fiennes A compelling and evocative autobiography from a serving officer in the Royal Gurkha Rifles among the finest and most feared soldiers in the world. 'Sometimes my mind reaches back beyond the fear and the arid landscapes of war, to memories of childhood that fill me with happiness and laughter.'
