In 1979 he was thrown into a new drinking club called the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (N.A.T.O.) He didn't have a clue what this meant but he knew it sounded good. N.A.T.O, and of course a green army bus, were to take the author on this amazing and life changing journey which would transform his cloudy vision of what soldiering was all about. These were the days of fighting the Red Menace as a young Squaddie in Germany during the Cold War - defending the West and Democracy from the nasty 'Reds in your beds' was the name of the game. West Germany was more about brains than brawn. It was about intellect, intelligence, espionage and nerves of steel. These were the qualities that were simply lacking in the new artilleryman who was about to be was posted to a German town he couldn't even spell let alone say. In his quest to become the best soldier in the regiment, the author stumbles across a traitor. His biggest fight isn't with the Warsaw Pact, but whether or not he should blow the lid on the treacherous actions of a fellow British Soldier.

Book Condition Guide
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| New | A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage. |
| As New | The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years. |
| Fine | The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked. |
| Near Fine | The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition. |
| Very Good | The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present. |
| Good | A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy. |
| Fair | A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity. |
| Poor | A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance. |
