    Description

    Colonel Rupert Wieloch has seen more than his share of frontline military action, having served as an officer during the Troubles in Northern Ireland before leading a squadron in the Iraq War in 1990 and then going on to Bosnia, where he planned and executed the largest defensive battle fought by the British Army for 20 years. After Bosnia, Wieloch’s role moved to planning and strategy, at the highest level. He played a key role in Operation Veritas, the UK’s response to 9/11, leading a team which developed the foundation for the UK’s campaign against international terrorism. That experience enabled him to command the British contingent in the NATO mission to Iraq, and later to serve as Senior British Military Commander in Libya at the time of the fall of Gaddafi. As the author puts it: “I hope this book opens a few eyes to these untold stories which have not been recognised publicly and in so doing, lays down for posterity the truth behind some historic events”.
