War is by far the most traumatic "life event" that any human can experience - a damaging combination of danger, uncertainty and horror. Yet little has been written about the actual experiences of combat - what the modern battlefield is really like and how professional soldiers, sailors and airmen, prepare to "cope with carnage". This book compares the ways in which the British Army, the US Army and the Israeli Defence Force motivate their peacetime soldiery and train their special forces, as well as showing the power and range of modern weapons and the ability of technology to eliminate darkness so that fighting can take place around the clock.

I brought my copy of this book for myself 16 years ago, as I am a Gulf War veteran (Gulf War 1). I was impressed by the authors first hand knowledge of being under fire in war. The book also deals with the after effects of war and combat situations, from the soldiers point of view. I thought that this was an interesting point as alot of books only seem to deal with the glory of battle, yet very little print is given what happens next or even at a later point in the serrviceman / servicewomans life. A friend recently comented to me how he enjoyed these type of books, so I went out of my way to find him a copy of his own.
