It's about love, loss, courage and determination told with his customary modesty which fails to disguise the amazing man behind the story' Alan Johnson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Dan Jarvis is an MP and a Mayor, but this is not a book about politics. This is a book about service and family - specifically his time serving in the elite Parachute Regiment, and the tragic death of his wife Caroline.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Dan used to be a soldier, and although soldiering provides the backdrop to some of the book, what it is really about is love, life and death - and all the stuff that goes in between. It is about making decisions when under extreme pressure, about keeping calm, keeping going and keeping a smile on your face - well, most of the time, anyway. Specifically, it is about the two biggest challenges Dan faced and the way he tried to cope with them - taking on the Taliban in Afghanistan, and losing his wife to cancer at a tragically young age.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For a long time Dan did not feel ready or able to talk about it, but ten years on, he now wants to tell the story. From the mortal danger and nerve-tangling fear of night-fighting in Helmand province to the aching heartache of bereavement, this is a unique and compelling memoir by a man of courage and character. Though it has been a hard book for Dan to write, it is a gripping and inspiring one to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jarvis, Dan, Family\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Abacus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781408710715\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jarvis, Dan","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.00","offer_id":48027965784241,"sku":"SB-1408710714-C3","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1408710714.jpg?v=1791939352","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/long-way-home-love-life-death-and-everything-in-between","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
