A story of the scars of war that affect generations – Of heartache, courage and hope for peace. You must pick up AFN Clarke’s bestselling and controversial book CONTACT. This expanded edition begins where the print version ended, revealing the untold nightmare Clarke lived through having nearly died, with half his insides missing, suffering from PTSD and being expected to return to a “normal life”. ” …. an unashamedly personal account … a fascinating view of fighting a war from a perspective which we may very rarely experience or hear about.” Michael Keene, Irish Evening Press.
A Little About CONTACT:
Clarke vividly recounts his experiences of two tours in Northern Ireland as a Platoon Commander with Britain’s elite Parachute Regiment during the 1970’s. The political agendas and religious roots underlying the conflict are heartbreakingly similar to Iraq, and Afghanistan today. Clarke shows us what it’s like to live each day with senses on high alert, waiting to be ripped apart by the accuracy of a sniper or a well-hidden bomb. We enter the private world of soldiers ordered to hold the lines in an ancient quarrel they have little affinity for, but whose consequences are deadly. We experience their emotions, fear, courage, humor, bravado and the anguish of death.
