"These stories convey a profound understanding of young men called on to fight in wars not of their own making. The stories are drawn from different wars in different times. They range from that of a young man from the colonies who goes England to fight for 'the mother cou8mntry' during the second world war - to tales based on the author's own experience as a doctor in the Sri lankan army during the protracted and bloody war against the Tamil Tiger terrorist group. A deeply moving book. Highly recommended."
