The story follows three extraordinary years in the life of Alan Gray, who after joining the armed forces as a bet at the age of seventeen, went on to serve in the Korean War. It tells of his training, sporting endeavours and his conquests of the fairer sex along the way. Culminating in his agonising decision of whether to stay in the army, or go back to life as a civilian. It is a true to life insight into army life as a raw recruit, through to serving your country in a war zone.
This book is a true to life rendition of what the army was really like during the 1950's. It provides the reader with a humurous account of a young man joining the army and going through his basic training, then being sent to Korea to serve his country, describing the conditions that had to be encountered during the Korean war. It is factual, but in a light hearted way that leaves the reader with an enjoyable read that doesn't get bogged down with too much dogma. As is the case with the Author on previous books, it also leads quite naturally into another future read by this Author, to be available in Spring 2011.
