Frank Ledwidge reviewed in The Independent
03 Jun 2013
Frank Ledwidge’s powerful new book Investment in Blood – The True Cost of Britain’s Afghan War has received a great review in The Independent:

The first, book-length attempt to evaluate British expenditure of blood and treasure, by former frontline military intelligence officer Frank Ledwidge, should become a Defence Academy set text – if, that is, the generals can bear it, because it makes for very grim reading indeed. How much has this war cost us? And what, if anything, has it achieved?”
