The Danish forces claimed that the book, by Thomas Rathsack, could compromise national security because it describes operations in which he was involved in Afghanistan and Iraq.
But the bailiff’s court in Copenhagen ruled that a ban on the book, which had already been published in full in a Danish newspaper and quoted in other media, would not “prevent the unwanted spread of the information”.
One passage in the book that has caused particular controversy is Mr Rathsack’s description of an undercover mission where his unit was dressed in Afghan clothing while carrying concealed weapons – a breach of the Geneva convention.
