Soldier of the Queen

To date almost all accounts of army life in Northern Ireland have been written by members of elite or specialist units. A Soldier of the Queen tells a fresh, if disturbing, story from the point of view fo the average British squaddie of what it was like to serve on the ground in Northern Ireland at the height of the Dirty War. It is a book which will shock readers who are used to the sanitised accounts of heroics performed by disciplined and decent soldiers caught reluctantly in the middle of a baffling tribal conflict.
