Frank Ledwidge reviewed in The Independent
3 Jun 2013
Frank Ledwidge’s powerful new book Investment in Blood – The True Cost of Britain’s Afghan War has received a great review in The Independent:
“Nato’s Afghan campaign has not expired yet, but with Britain and those of her allies who have not already left now jostling for the 2014 exit, it is not too early to start the post-mortem. The first, book-length attempt to evaluate British expenditure of blood and treasure, by former frontline military intelligence officer Frank Ledwidge, should become a Defence Academy set text – if, that is, the generals can bear it, because it makes for very grim reading indeed. How much has this war cost us? And what, if anything, has it achieved?”
