"[The book] explores National Service from a number of different angles. It contains in-depth accounts from a diverse selection of former conscripts ... A number of frank and humorous letters home from a soldier to his fiancée are also included, and there are interviews with women - mothers, sisters, wives and girlfriends - who talk about how National Service affected them and their men. And, finally, former soldiers look back at their time in the army and reveal the powerful and lasting effects it has had on them and how they view it from the perspective of the present."--Back cover. |
