An utterly compelling and much needed reminder of what war is
really all about. In 1982 Private Ken Lukowiak served with 2 Para
in the Falklands. He was away from home for little more than eight
weeks, yet the experience of war was to change his life for ever.
Ten years passed before he was able to write about this brief
period in his life. In those ten years he was brought face to face
with the legacy of his Parachute Regiment training and with the
knowledge that he had seen many men die - some of whom he himself
had killed. From the voyage 'down South' on the MV Norland, from
Goose Green to Fitzroy and the anti-climactic journey home Lukowiak
illustrates the madness and black comedy of the soldier's world. He
tells his painfully honest story in spare and brutal language and
is both profound and often profoundly shocking.
