The Junior Officers' Reading Club: Killing Time and Fighting Wars Book
For the first time in a generation British soldiers are once again fighting at close quarters coming under sustained and vicious firepower losing friends in some of the most violent fighting the modern army has endured. Yet the same soldiers also serve on international peacekeeping missions or counter insurgency. Sometimes they do all three in the same country. "The Junior Officers' Reading Club" is the story of how one of these soldiers was made through the testosterone-heavy breeding ground of Sandhurst into the war-pockmarked gritty Balkans out into the nightmare of Iraq and Afghanistan's Helmand Province pinned down by the Taliban living only from moment to moment. Written in spare and lucid prose it describes with alarming vividness not only the frenetic violence of a soldier's life but the periods of stifling and (sometimes) comic boredom living inside an institution in a state of flux an Army caught between a world that needs it and a society that no longer understands it.Read More
