About the Book
A thoughtful, sometimes grim, often humerous look at one man's thirty-year span of military service in Germany, Korea, Ireland, Palestine, Malaya and Kenya, with a focus on his experiences in Palestine.
The book details how the author was "press ganged" into the British army, his pride of being a soldier, as well as the heartbreaks and fun times. He also describes his sympathy for the post-1948 Palestine people.
About the Author
Too young to soldier in WWII, Newman made up for it 25 years afterwards. In later life he realised the perversion of world politics and that business really rules the world, not the legally elected governments.
