Johnny Mercer was a member of 29 Commando Royal Artillery who was deployed on three combat tours of Afghanistan and weathered some of the heaviest fighting in the entire campaign in the area of Nad-E Ali. Now, in this searingly honest account of life as a 21st century soldier, he reveals what it's really like to be under fire. Like many returning soldiers, he was scarred by his experiences and when he left the army he had one goal: to improve the treatment of his generation of combat veterans by becoming a Member of Parliament. Against all advice he stood as a Conservative in the Labour stronghold of Plymouth Moor View - and won.
