On February 28, 2008, to great international surprise, the British
Ministry of Defense released a statement acknowledging that Prince
Harry--son of the late Princess Diana and third in line to the British
throne--had secretly been deployed to Afghanistan. Subsequent reports
revealed that the prince had killed up to thirty Taliban insurgents in
directing at least three air strikes, and that he had helped Gurkha
troops repel a ground attack of Taliban insurgents using a machine gun.
On Februrary 29, Prince Harry was withdrawn from the country with
distinction via a covert SAS deployment. This is the amazing story of
the first British royal to serve his country in 25 years and his 10
heroic weeks of combat.
