One of Afghanistan’s first books remembered 10 years on in new eBook
In 2007, Airman Mal Robinson kept a diary of his time with the RAF in Kandahar, Afghanistan. That diary was published and the book “From Afghanistan to Temazepam” was born. It charted his time in the war zone, coinciding with his football team, Sunderland AFC’s rise from the ashes under then manager, Roy Keane.
Ten years on and Mal has just about seen it all.
Attack! Attack! Attack! covers three main elements of his life – football, business and the military.
He goes into detail about his time in the services since his first time in Afghanistan, which saw him revisit the war torn country once more, along with a stint in Iraq, not to mention the consequences of war.
In the business section, Robinson charts his time on leaving the RAF in 2011, including his time in Sierra Leone as Security and Communications Director, as part of the UK Government’s response to the Ebola crisis in 2015.
Finally, Robinson reflects on his fortunate association with his passion of football throughout the years from being Editor-in-Chief for Media73’s range of football magazines to becoming Sports Editor for ncj Media’s Tyneside titles – The Chronicle, Sunday Sun and The Journal.
An emotional rollercoaster of tales from all three sectors, Robinson proves that at times, life is stranger than fiction.
