Coming this December: Trackpad Publishing’s Danish Leopards in Helmand – From the Crew’s Perspective.
From the publisher: Read the story of the life of the Danish tankers in the Afghan desert, about their battle against Taliban insurgents, and about their victories and their losses.
This books provides the reader with a truly personal account of how it was to have the Leopard 2 tank as your workplace in an environment where mistakes can kill you, and where the enemy is often just a silhouette in the thermal sight.
Danish Leopard 2s were deployed to Afghanistan from 2007 to 2014. They were used in combat operations from the outset to the end of the Danish deployment. The Leopards were the last Danish combat units to leave Afghanistan because their services were highly praised by other NATO partners who wanted to keep them in theatre as long as possible.
This book is about the men who operated these machines in their own words, crews extensively interviewed to gain an insight into the life of a tanker in an alien operational theatre thousands of miles from home.
Publication date is on 15 December.
