The junior officers' reading club : killing time and fighting wars
Hennessey, Patrick, 1982-2009
Books
Written in spare and lucid prose, this title describes with alarming vividness not only the frenetic violence of a soldier's life, but the periods of stifling and (sometimes) comic boredom, living inside an institution in a state of flux, an Army caught between a world that needs it and a society that no longer understands it.
