Told with some level of realism and barrack room humour the book will strike a note with those who have served and will intrigue those who have not.
Reluctant in Uniform Three - sun, sex, sheiks and sandbags is the story of a reluctant soldier and his time on active service in South Arabia.
Set in up country Radfan and Aden in the heat and upheavals of the 1960s conflict - the reluctant anti-hero Logan finds himself up country and embroiled in events leading to what became the Republic of Yemen.
‘There's something happening up country in the Radfan’ said Spiby the enigmatic man from the secret service.
Roxanne's legs crossed and crossed and back again with a far from innocent regularity. Logan's eyes followed like a centre court net judge as up rode the lady's skirt to levels approaching the laughter line.
Logan was surprised to find them much like any bunch of soldier misfits. Thinker, joker, smart arse, lawyer of sorts and shady looking bastards to a man. They were all in there in a barrack room mix but without the barracks.
Expert at movement and instinctively aware of that which most European recruits need months of training for. Then up in the Radfan hills training began early. If it didn’t start at the tit there wasn’t a later.
