Russell Phillips Donates 30% Of Book Sales To Charity

Jan. 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Russell Phillips has announced that 30% of all sales of "A Damn Close-Run Thing", his brief history of the Falklands War, will be donated to The Forgotten Heroes. On his decision to make the donation, Russell said: "I heard some time ago (around the time of the 25th anniversary commemorations) that twice as many veterans had killed themselves since the Falklands War ended than died during it. I've heard similar things about other wars, and I find it a truly depressing statistic. Hopefully The Forgotten Heroes will be able to change that."

Forgotten Heroes Trustee Charley Downey expressed that: "We are very grateful to Russell for his generous donation, and we wish him every success with his book, which is a fantastic tribute to those brave men and women involved in the Falklands Conflict."

The ebook is available now from the following vendors:
