Robert Widders served in all three branches of the British armed services. Here he tracks his life from childhood through naval service in the NATO rapid response Atlantic Squadron in the Cold War, army manoeuvres in Germany and active service in RAF field hospitals during the Gulf War.

This volume tells the true, action-packed stories behind more than 50 awards of the Victoria Cross, Britain and the Commonwealth's most prestigious gallantry medal for courage in the face of the enemy.

This title looks at issues which concern members and former members of the armed forces. It covers issues such as service-related mental ill health, dealing with physical injuries, the future of the armed services in the wake of government cuts and redundancies, and much more.
