For his twelfth book, first published in 1985, Tony Parker was given
near-unlimited access by the Ministry of Defence and spent eighteen
months interviewing the officers and soldiers of a single British Army
infantry regiment - as well as their wives. Both a pacifist and a
former conscientious objector, Parker brought his singular perspective
to the questioning of fighting men on what it means to bear arms for
one's country.
