Mr. Aldiss is an accomplished writer, and his memoirs of the Malaya Counter-insurgency are colourful. An interesting situation as Chinese Communists attempt to de-stabilize a basically Malayan outpost of the dying British empire. The effects on being urban Britons while young, horny, and engaged in counter insurgency work in a foreign environment have more than passing relevance. ( )
