Land of the Blind

War is a terrible combination of mostly stupidity and tragedy.

Land of the Blind is the fictionalised memoir that tells the untold story behind the scenes of the intelligence war in Afghanistan. It follows the operational tour of a military intelligence officer working in a small team of soldiers attached to the Afghan National Security Directive, whilst navigating the orders of their overly-ambitious commanding officer and the coalition's increasingly confused mission in the sixth 'decisive year' since the invasion.

The close-knit team includes an experienced and infamous sergeant major, a young enthusiastic and idealistic corporal and his best friend Jim. When Jim is killed in a roadside bomb, the team recruit an eclectic cast of allies in their quest to hunt down the Taliban bomb maker responsible, whatever the cost.
