About

Written by a former Para the book which partnered a BBC documentary of the same name.

Follows a group of forty-one recruits to the Parachute Regiment through their basic training, from their arrival at the Parachute Depot in Aldershot to the day sixteen of them passed out. The author has observed all this with an eye for the detail and the humour of army life.

But into the story he has woven the history of airbourne warfare - Norway, Holland and Belgium, Crete and North Africa, Sicily, Normandy, Arnhem and the Rhine Crossing, Indo-China and other more recent theatres - to give a fascinating picture of what it is like to be a Para.
