Battleworn: The Memoir of a Combat Medic in Afghanistan - Softcover
Every inch a woman and every inch a warrior. In peace and war Taylor is as radiant as gold and as tough as diamond' Sam Kiley - author of Desperate Glory and Foreign Affairs Editor of Sky News. Chantelle Taylor joined the British Army in 1998 as a combat medical technician. Ten years later she made history, becoming the first female soldier to kill a Taliban fighter in close-quarter combat while on patrol in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. In Battleworn, she tells the story of B Company, a beleaguered group of individuals who fought relentlessly to hold Nad-e Ali, a dusty, sweltering hellhole surrounded by the Taliban. A routine patrol into an area saturated with enemy fighters escalates into a seven-week siege. Facing the possibility of death daily, Taylor writes of gun battles and perilous patrols, culminating in the extraction of more than sixty-six casualties with four killed in action. A powerful story written with a humility that captures the sometimes impalpable humour of soldiers at war, Battleworn provides a testament to combat medics all over the world. It highlights the crucial role that they play in today's 360-degree battlefield.

About the Author:
Chantelle Taylor joined the Royal Army Medical Corps in 1998, at age 22. Years later, after numerous deployments she was recommended to take the Queens commission from the ranks. Ambitious and headstrong, Taylor opted to leave the service in 2009 and returned to Afghanistan for the third time. Employed as an instructor in combat medicine for the US department of state, the young Brit mentored Afghan doctors and police who were assigned to the East of the country, along the precarious borders with Pakistan. Moving into Diplomatic security Chantelle spent a further three years in Baghdad, Iraq, as the primary protection officer for a high profile Ambassador. Currently working as a senior security advisor and consultant in tactical medicine, the former soldier is writing her second novel, venturing into fiction with the hope of one day penning for film.
