Book excerpt: The conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan may not enjoy popular support, but our soldiers - who do not have the choice of where and who they're fighting for - do. Each day in these two countries is a desperate battle for survival against deadly and implacable enemy forces, and each day brings new acts of bravery, courage and self-sacrifice that seem to belong to a bygone age. Here, 25 medal winners - the bravest of the brave - from the Army, the Royal Marine Commandoes and the RAF describe in their own words astonishing actions which led to their awards.
