Publishers Description: The soldiers of the SAS, the Commandos and Special Operations Engineer Regiment are Australias most highly trained soldiers. Their work is often secret, their bravery undeniable and for thirteen years they were at the forefront of Australias longest war. Shunning acclaim, they are the Australian Defence Forces brightest and best skilled.In an extraordinary investigation undertaken over ten years, Chris Masters opens up the heart of Australias Special Forces and their war in Afghanistan. He gives voice to the soldiers, he takes us to the centre of some of the fiercest combat Australia has ever experienced and provides the most intimate examination of what it is like to be a member of this countrys elite fighting forces. But he also asks difficult questions that reveal controversial clouds hanging over our Special Operations mission in Afghanistan.For Australia, there is no more important war to examine in detail. Afghanistan lives in our recent past and will continue to occupy our future. Masterfully told, No Front Line will find a place as one of Australias finest books on contemporary soldiering."In this remarkable book about the intense combat environment experienced by our soldiers in Afghanistan, Chris Masters captures the highs, the lows, the courage and the sacrifice of Australian warriors and their loved ones in our longest war." - Air Chief Marshal Sir Angus Houston AK, AFC (Retd)
