Thanks Morse. I've been intrigued by some of the books coming out of these theatres especially those relating to Operation Anaconda. However, as usual, have yet to read any. Not usual though is the fact that I only have one - Sandra Lee's 18 Hours - The true story of an SAS war hero (Aussie SAS). Am intrigued by Eight Lives Down about mine clearing but we'll see. Got plenty to read as it is so will only buy such books if I catch them really cheap like I did with Mike Durant's (Super Six, I think, in Black Hawk Down) In the Company of Heroes - again, haven't read it but snippets are good and includes his time in first Gulf War chasing Scud launchers at night.
