Synopsis

Now available in paperback, this book brilliantly portrays what it was like to be facing death day after day with neither a bed to sleep in or a hot meal to look forward to.

This is warfare in the raw - brutal yet humorous, immensely tragic but, sadly, all true. A diary which was brought to a wider audience when the hardback was published in 1999.

Having sold out in a few months it is now being published in paperback for the first time.
