About the book
It's 1985 and teenager Eddy Nugent is slowly going out of his mind with boredom in Manchester - so he joins the British Army. Overnight, he leaves the relative sanity of civvie street and falls headlong into the lunatic parallel universe of basic training: a life of press-ups, boot polish and drills. Gradually, he finds his feet and settles down to life as a soldier. Written by two soldiers and closely based on their own experiences, this is a must for anyone who has served, anyone who is planning to serve or anyone who is thinking about it.
