A vital and timely story and one that needs to be heardβ - Damien Lewis
βA story of a young courageous half Asian half White boy who defies all odds just to serve his countryβ - Brian Wood MC
Alexander (Alex) Khan was born in Scotland in 1975 to mixed-race parents. Alex spent most of his 'troubled' early years living in the North West of England. He joined the British Army in 1996.
From the backstreets of a tight-knit community and the drug dens of East Lancashire to the battlefields of Iraq, Alex takes us on an incredible journey, one which sees him struggle to come to terms with his past. Escape the religious police and join an elite Airborne Regiment in the British Army while pursuing the quest to find his long-lost English mother. Alex's courage, honesty and willingness to take a chance in life pay off when he reaches the end of his search β but is his mum everything he hoped she would be?
What reads say about 'Forbidden SOLDIER.'
I highly recommend this book, especially in conjunction with 'Orphan of Islam', - you truly get a feel for the battles he has faced. Simply phenomenal. Dave. W.
It grips you just like the first one. Sad to see what he went through. He should be proud off what he managed and how he turned out. Lorna. B.
