Kailash Limbu was in the front line of the fighting in \u003cb\u003eHelmand Province\u003c\/b\u003e. On dangerous resupply missions and on offensive patrols that took them to the heart of the 'killing zone', he and his men came \u003cb\u003eunder frequent attack from Taliban fighters\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe talks of other operations in which he has served - and, perhaps most movingly, of the other Gurkha soldiers - the united \u003cb\u003eband of brothers\u003c\/b\u003e - with whom he serves and on whom he relies every day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn 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. His means of coping with the \u003cb\u003etrauma of conflict \u003c\/b\u003ewas to travel back in his mind to his\u003cb\u003e childhood in a remote Himalayan village\u003c\/b\u003e in Nepal. But even amid the simplicity of mountain life, danger and tragedy lurked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this compelling narrative Capt Limbu \u003cb\u003ecelebrates his Gurkha heritage\u003c\/b\u003e, relates \u003cb\u003eremarkable stories of courage\u003c\/b\u003e (his own and others'), and \u003cb\u003econfronts demons\u003c\/b\u003e that have shaped but never broken him. The result is a record of war and peace that is rare in its \u003cb\u003ehonesty and humility\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53793695498578,"sku":"9781789292572","price":26.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_d481729e-953e-4167-bada-ba54d43d75dc.jpg?v=1781844208","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/gurkha-brotherhood","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
