In 2006 video footage of British soldiers beating Iraqi civilians was leaked to the press. It quickly made headlines worldwide, causing public outrage. Soon after, the press named a man who had been arrested in relation to the footage - Cpl Martin Webster. In this first-hand account of life on the front line, Martin recalls the events leading up to the moment he shot the now infamous footage, his experiences after being vilified by the press and his struggles with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. "This is a harrowing and humbling tale of the journey from war to the battlefield of the mind" Sam Kiley, author of Desperate Glory

Access to higher education (HE) by social background in England is profoundly unequal. These inequalities, however, are not confined to socio-economic background, nor just to entry into HE. The retention rates, degree outcomes, and post-HE employability all differ significantly by socio-economic background, gender, ethnicity and disability. This collection brings together leading contemporary thought and research on how to address inequalities in participation in HE across the student lifecycle. It highlights a broad range of widening access practice, including chapters on financial support, mature students, pedagogy, part-time study and evaluation techniques. In concluding, it argues that there is a need for widening access professionals, with an in-depth understanding of the learners with whom they work, operating at each stage of the students journey. This means that there is a crucial role for regional and national networks to enable these professionals to share practice and facilitate greater collaboration across the education sector to improve equality in higher education.
