Battleworn: The Memoir of a Combat Medic in Afghanistan

"â€˜Every inch a woman and every inch a warrior. In peace and war Taylor is as radiant as gold and as tough as diamondâ€™
Sam Kiley - author of Desperate Glory and Foreign Affairs Editor of Sky News.
Chantelle Taylor joined the British Army in 1998 as a combat medical technician. Ten years later she made history, becoming the first female soldier to kill a Taliban fighter in close-quarter combat while on patrol in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. In Battleworn, she tells the story of B Company, a beleaguered group of individuals who fought relentlessly to hold Nad-e Ali, a dusty, sweltering hellhole surrounded by the Taliban.
A routine patrol into an area saturated with enemy fighters escalates into a seven-week siege. Facing the possibility of death daily, Taylor writes of gun battles and perilous patrols, culminating in the extraction of more than sixty-six casualties with four killed in action.
A powerful story written with a humility that captures the sometimes impalpable humour of soldiers at war, Battleworn provides a testament to combat medics all over the world. It highlights the crucial role that they play in todayâ€™s 360-degree battlefield."
