This remarkable book is the first ever sociological study of an
operational army unit. The author, himself a former regular
soldier, observed a group of raw recruits to the British Army
during their basic training, accompanied a unit on an exercise in
Canda and also went with it to the dangerous 'bandit country' of
South Armagh.
John Hockey paints a memorable picture of the subsculture of
private soldiers in today's regular infantry, and he shows vividly
how this conforms and conflicts with the formal demands of the
military organisation.
Anyone who wants to know more about the working of the army at
grass-roots level will find this book essential reading.
