About this title

Synopsis

This wide-ranging and incisive study of the military experience draws an astonishing picture of what motivates the soldier to struggle in conditions of physical and mental degradation. It reveals the humiliation of basic training, the attitude to fear, the drive for sex and loot, the elixir of comradeship.
