Where is your limit? Chris Terril is 55 years old. He is not a soldier. He is being trained by the Royal Marines. He is going to Afghanistan. Chris Terrill is a 55-year old documentary maker, who after a lifetime of challenging film assignments in the world's hot spots might have opted for the easy life. But when the Royal Navy invited him to join a group of 18 year old recruits in the grueling basic training at the Royal Marine Commando base at Lympstone in Devon he never flinched.He wanted to understand what it was to become one of the Armed Services elite forces, what mindset was required to undergo an ordeal for which the Marine slogan goes'99.99 per cent need not apply'. And, even more importantly, Chris wanted to discover what mindset a recruit needs to train for, and then face, front line battle in one of the world's most dangerous war zones. Fast forward six months. Chris has passed through the training course, one of only a tiny percentage of his intake who made it. He is now a close friend and confidante of the teenagers with whom he has endured a hellish training period. But now they are flying by Chinook into Helmand Province, Afghanistan to a massive armed town, Fort Bastion.From this besieged fire base they will fight drug traffickers and the Taliban. Chris and his comrades must confront their inner demons as for the first time they go into combat, friends are wounded and killed. For the first time in the War against Terror, Chris captures battle as a cameraman from the frontline as the bullets whistle past."Commando"is a brilliant account of modern warfare as it is today.

Chris Terrill is a man in search of his limit. He's 55 years old. He is not a soldier. He was trained by the Royal Marines and he went with them to Afghanistan. The only difference was that instead of a gun, Chris was holding a camera and filmed the whole ordeal for a major TV series. The Royal Marines Commando training base in Lympstone Devon, has a famous motto: '99.9 per cent need not apply'. Of those who start training, after a very tough selection process, nearly 50 per cent fail to make it through the most gruelling physical tests of any armed forces in the world in an eight month training regime. The elite who do eventually pass out are generally eighteen years old and at the peak of physical condition.But Chris Terrill was the exception: this book tells of his heroic struggle to become the oldest man to win the coveted Royal Marines Commando Green Beret and enter the record books. And after six months of hell, what next? Chris follows the raw recruits on a tour to Southern Afghanistan. He tells the story in book and film of the fears and hopes of the youngsters as they are plunged into one of the planet's most dangerous wars in the outlaw mountain terrain of Helmand Province. He tells of ferocious battles against the Taliban, of firefights, of jaw-dropping heroism, British sang froid and humour and tragedy as causalities that are suffered - all from the unique perspective of a civilian who has achieved the ultimate accolade: to be accepted as an honorary Royal Marines Commando. Commando is a brilliant account of modern war on the front line. Ref A4 3. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 033259
