TWO of the most highly regarded books to come out of the conflict in Afghanistan recount the experiences of Captain Doug Beattie of the 1st Battalion Royal Irish Rifles. The Military Cross holder first put together an account of a ferocious battle against the Taliban to retake the town of Garmsir called An Ordinary Soldier. The News of the World called it “exhilarat- ing, bloody, moving and terrifying” while The Sunday Times said it was “a riveting read”. The follow up “Task Force Helmand” describes Capt Beattie’s return to the war- zone in the role of mentoring and training members of the Afghan National Police and ORDINARY SOLDIERS?
