Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 376 pages. When Patrick Hennessey returned home from Afghanis tan, battle-worn, exhilarated, unsure if he'd see anything like i t in his life again, he left behind him bands of friendship forge d in the heat of the moment between living and dying. The comrade s he left furthest behind were Qiam, Syed and Majhib. They are st ill there in the dust and heat of Helmand, soldiers fighting for their homeland. KANDAK is the story of how these lasting bonds we re made. Written in the spare and lucid prose of Junior Officers' Reading Club, Patrick Hennessey tells of their comically bad fir st meetings, the mutual suspicion, incomprehension and cultural d ivides that characterise early interactions between British and A fghan soldiers, to the moments under fire when those divides can, sometimes, cross chaos and culture shocks to turn into brotherho od. An account of friendship and loss, of warriors and soldiers, KANDAK explores the reasons men pick up the sword, and how in the intensity of battle, unlikely alliances can be formed.
