«3 Para» is Patrick Bishop's military history essay, published by Harpercollins Pb in paperback (320 pages, in English).
The book reconstructs the deployment of the 3 Para battle group in Helmand (Afghanistan) during the summer of 2006. With access to the soldiers, Patrick Bishop narrates the almost continuous combat against the Taliban, the extreme heat, the shortage of supplies and life in the forward operating bases, and portrays an exhausting campaign for the British army.
The Helmand campaign left fourteen soldiers and one interpreter dead, and 46 wounded; two battalion members received the Victoria Cross and the George Cross.
For readers interested in British military history and the war in Afghanistan.
Patrick Collier was an Irish Roman Catholic priest, later appointed as Bishop of Ossory.
