| Description: |
Combat Camera reveals the inner workings - and absurdities - of the British military's media operations in Afghanistan. A war memoir that draws on hundreds of field reports, it exposes the truth behind the headlines. |
| Synopsis: |
May 2011, Afghanistan: Camp Bastion is under attack, The Sun's Defence Editor is about to catch the wrong helicopter, and a famous TV war reporter is missing half his kit and wants his trainers back. Amid the chaos, Christian Hill is preparing to lead his Combat Camera Team on the British Army's first big operation of the Helmand summer, inching through the IED-riddled fields of the notorious Green Zone. As a captain in the Media Operations Group, his job is to promote the war to the British media - and make it look like things are under control and getting better. Combat Camera reveals the inner workings - and absurdities - of the British military's media operations in Afghanistan. A war memoir that draws on hundreds of field reports, it exposes the truth behind the headlines. As the pull-out date for combat troops draws closer, it will appeal to anyone who wants to know whether our campaign in Afghanistan has really been worth the effort. |
