Über diesen Titel

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Patrick Hennessey's compelling account of life as a British soldier, The Junior Officers' Reading Club, read with charm and wit by the author himself.

Patrick Hennessey is a graduate in his 20s. He reads Graham Greene, listens to early-90s house on his iPod and watches Vietnam movies. He has also, as an officer in the Grenadier Guards, fought in some of the most violent combat the British army has seen in a generation.

This is the story of how a modern soldier is made, from the testosterone-heavy breeding ground of Sandhurst to the nightmare of Iraq and Afghanistan. Showing war in all its terror, boredom and exhilaration, The Junior Officers' Reading Club is already being hailed as a modern classic.

Kritikerstimmen

A very fine book, a powerful dispatch from the front line ... what impresses is the sheer candour and immediacy
The military memoir of the moment
An extraordinary memoir . . . Hennessey has a reporter's eye for detail and a soldier's nose for bullshitAn extraordinary memoir . . . Hennessey has a reporter's eye for detail and a soldier's nose for bullshit
All politicians need to read honest accounts of war - at no time more than now - and Patrick Hennessey's The Junior Officers' Reading Club is one of the very best
Must rank as the most accomplished work of military witness to emerge from British war-fighting since 1945
Outstanding . . . A classic of its kind

A truly amazing story from Sandhurst to the bloody banks of the green zone in Afghanistan. Spoken and written by someone who has gone through an amazing and truly unique story in the British Army.

One of the best books I have heard/red.

Kindest regards,

A. Kendell (Son of Lt. Col. R. N. Kendell)

Probably one of the best wartime books on Afghanistan.
