Southern Afghanistan: Reporter Stephen Grey is embedded with B Company, 2 Yorks, during Operation Snakebite. The mission: to take the stronghold of Musa Qala, deep in hostile Taliban territory.
Dropped into the thick of the fighting, Grey provides a bombs-and-bullets glimpse of combat chaos as British, American and Afghan forces struggle to secure a town crucial to the drug trade.

Operation Snakebite tells the astonishing story of a bloody battle and the men who fought to win – no matter the cost to themselves.
