To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From June to November 2006, a platoon of Gurkhas and then a company of The Fusiliers were fiercely besieged in the police compound there, firing tens of thousands of rounds and killing hundreds of their attackers. Unlike the siege at Sangin, the extraordinary fighting at Now Zad went largely unreported. No newspaper journalist or TV crew ever made it to the town, and no gallantry medals were awarded to the men who had held it. When I returned to Britain, therefore, and finally reached an agreeme...nt with the MoD under which I could speak to their employees, among the first things I did was to contact Major Dan Rex of the Royal Gurkha Regiment.It was a warm day, the first of the spring, when I went to see him and his men, six months after their return from Afghanistan and a world away from the din and confusion of battle. Their barracks, named after Sir John Moore, the hero of Wellington's Peninsular campaign, were perched high on a woody cliff above a glittering sea just outside Folkestone in Kent.
