Editorial : “A vivid portrait of life on the frontline through the diaries and recollections of soldiers who contend with moustache competitions one minute and life threatening action the next.

A must read book.” Paddy Ashdown, Lord Ashdown of NortonsubHamdon, GCMG KBE PC, Author of A Brilliant Little Operation: The Cockleshell Heroes and the Most Courageous Raid of World War 2
A glimpse into life on the front line in Afghanistan told through the diaries of the British Marines During their tour of Afghanistan in 2008, a number of soldiers kept personal diaries of their experiences, and now, for the first time, Osprey Publishing has collected them together to provide a gripping first-hand account of life in the front line in modern warfare. Although these soldiers were on the same tour, they all encountered different experiences, and so while the time frame is the same, their perspectives are inevitably different. Included here are the diaries of Lt John Thornton, who sadly lost his life just two weeks before the end of the tour, a Padre, a CO, a 2IC, and a member of Lt Thornton's section. The diary of Lt Thornton's brother, Ian, who returned from Helmand in 2012, provides an example of the war four years later and provides further context to the original tour diaries.

But because the primitive brain's function is safety and survival, it can and does trump the rational brain.
You will get a much better idea of why you have so much trouble controlling your impulses and why instant gratification has so much influence in your life.
This book will give you great insights into human behavior - your own and those you interact with. She learns the queen of the White
