Description
After university and Sandhurst, Charles Thoroughgood has now joined the Assault Commandos and is on a four-month tour of duty in Armagh and Belfast. The thankless task facing him and his men -- to patrol the tension-filled streets through weeks of boredom punctuated by bursts of horror -- takes them through times of tragedy, madness, laughter and terror. Alan Judd tells Thoroughgood's tale with verve, compassion and humour. The result is an exceptionally fine novel which blends bitter human show more incident with army farce. 'Quite simply one of the best novels of army life I've read' Jack Higgins 'Entertaining and compulsively readable' Melvyn Bragg 'Human, sympathetic and engrossing' Daily Mirror show lessTags
