I bought it off Amazon and it's excellent! Better than 3 Para I think.
Goose Green: A Battle Is Fought to Be Won, is still the best one that I've read yet though.

Book List for Parachute Regiment & Airborne Forces

Hi guys
Had a look at the list and looked a few up but looking for some advice.
I'm in the process of joining the reg and just wonder if anyone can recommend a couple of books that will give an insight into training and first time experiences etc that any of you have read and would say will help new recruits.
I have read 3 para and ground truth and enjoyed them both.
Cheers,
Colin

Re: Book List for Parachute Regiment & Airborne Forces
i can recommend band of brothers by stephen e ambrose, made famous by the tv series of the same name. charts e company from the 506th regiment, 101st airborne, who also took part in op market garden. follows their story from training in Georgia all the way to berchtesgarden.
and not a book but piece of regimental history
