The conversion of my my MBA thesis into a more readable format humanising organisational change and what it means on a human and contextual level:"Captain James Gwydion is a pretty typical twenty something, but he also happens to be in the British Army and deploys to Afghanistan determined to build himself a stellar career.Muktar is an Afghan boy who’s life is flung into chaos forcing him to leave the home and family he loves to make money anyway he can.In their different worlds the two learn that life is not simple and that to change anything you have to take on powerful forces. They also learn in the maelstrom of Helmand Province that a smile can be the difference between life and death."https://www.amazon.com/Martyrs-David-Owen-ebook/dp/B071P276W5
