Product Description
When you buy this book you are doing two things. You are supporting those in the regiment who are less fortunate than yourself, and you are buying a book that is blatantly politically incorrect. There are 257 true, humorous stories within is covers, all gathered from former members of the regiment and attached arms. It is guaranteed to have you in stitches and epitomises the no-nonsense sense of humour of all soldiers, no matter what units they were in. The humour is sometimes sick, occasionally perverse, often rude, definitely weird and usually warped – a consequence of the vocation these men have chosen and the mental and physical toughness required of them.
Many of the tales feature memories of the infamous ‘P’ Company, two weeks of mental and physical hell designed to test the endurance of even the strongest of men. Those who passed wear their red berets with pride, knowing they had come through hell and survived. Many incidents involve the perils of leaping out of aircraft, hard landings, lucky escapes, practical jokes and crazy antics both on and off duty. The end result is a book that will keep you laughing for hours. For any ex-Para it’s a “must-read”, and for everyone else it will be a real eye-opener.
