Courage Under Fire is a collection of stories celebrating the incredible bravery that those on the front line display on behalf of our country. Split into three parts, the first is a collection of experiences and instances of extreme courage from veterans of the recent conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. The second part uses archive material from the armed conflicts of the last 90 years to examine how life at the front has changed, whilst the third is an assortment of observations on heroism from some well-known war correspondents and commentators today. Including contributions from former soldiers that have received treatment for physical and mental health problems, the book explores how the troubles of war can affect every day life and is a moving and fascinating tribute to the men and women of the army, navy and RAF.
Tim Lynch joined the army at the age of sixteen and saw active service with the Army Air Corps in the Falklands and Northern Ireland. After returning to civilian life he co-authored one of the first studies of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder among British veterans and was closely involved in the campaign for improved services for ex-service personnel. He is trained in Critical Incident Debriefing and as a Probation Officer working with offender veterans both in custody and in the community. He is also a freelance writer and photographer specialising in military history and is a regular contributor to a variety of magazines in Britain and the US. His books include "Battlefield Archaeology", "Silent Skies:Gliders at War" and "Dunkirk 1940: Whereabouts Unknown" as well as contributions to "The Falklands War: Then and Now" and "3 Para - Mount Longdon".
