The book examines the differing casualty rates and political discourse surrounding the military involvement of Britain, Denmark, and Germany in Afghanistan post-9/11. It analyzes how these countries' casualties shaped perceptions of the war, focusing on media coverage of repatriation and burials, as well as official recognition of the fallen. Additionally, it emphasizes the responses of soldiers in Afghanistan to the narratives constructed by their governments and media, highlighting the complex interplay between political leadership, media portrayal, and personal experiences.

Britain, Denmark and Germany all deployed soldiers soon after the 9/11 attacks, yet their role in Afghanistan and the casualty rates suffered, have been vastly different. This book looks at how their casualties influenced the framing of the war by analysing the political discourse about the casualties.
