Description
The men and women who served in the Ulster Defence Regiment 1970-1992 were truly remarkable because they made a commitment that was open ended. They put their lives and those of their families at risk in the service of Great Britain for as long as it would take to return Northern Ireland to normality. They were at risk every minute of every day. There was no let up.
In this book fifty men and women of one battalion, the 8th, tell stories of their service and the incidents they were involved in - in their own words. Anthony Leask has brought them all together and provided both an overview and a context in a book that is much more than a military history; it is a very compelling read. Everyone who served in the Security Forces during the years of "The Troubles" will be able to relate in some way to these stories.
