Tinged with pathos this book is an irreverent and witty account of the life of a British Army Staff Officer serving with NATO forces in Afghanistan . Despite the humour there is also an inescapable theme of tragedy, pity and disillusionment. In writing letters back to his village in Blighty, Lieutenant Colonel Lyndon Robinson had inadvertently described the life of a 21st Century staff officer deployed on operations.
