Forward into Hell

Paratrooper Lance-Corporal Vincent Bramley's account of his experiences in the frontline of modern warfare is a testament that could stand for any soldier who has to cope with fatigue, fear, aggression, carnage and death. It is a story filled with compassion and brutality in almost equal measure. Most of all, it is a story of confusion - confusion in the heat of battle and confusion in the hearts and souls of ordinary men.
