A Breed of Heroes

<B>FROM THE HIGHLY ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF <I>LEGACY</I> AND <I>ACCIDENTAL AGENT</I></B><BR/><BR/> After university and Sandhurst, Charles Thoroughgood has now joined the Assault Commandos and is on a four-month tour of duty in Armagh and Belfast. The thankless task facing him and his men -- to patrol the tension-filled streets through weeks of boredom punctuated by bursts of horror -- takes them through times of tragedy, madness, laughter and terror.<BR/><BR/> Alan Judd tells Thoroughgood's tale with verve, compassion and humour. The result is an exceptionally fine novel which blends bitter human incident with army farce.<BR/><BR/><B>'Quite simply one of the best novels of army life I've read' JACK HIGGINS</B><BR/><BR/><B>'Entertaining and compulsively readable' MELVYN BRAGG</B><BR/><BR/><B>'Human, sympathetic and engrossing' <I>DAILY MIRROR</I></B>
