Publisher Description
When multiple foreign armies invade England simultaneously, the adult population is far too distracted by cricket matches and tea times to mount a defense. It falls to a wildly resourceful Boy Scout and his highly trained troop to repel the invaders using nothing but cunning, sheer annoyance, and a deep knowledge of wilderness survival. The military might of Europe is systematically dismantled by the relentless bureaucracy and irritating cheerfulness of the scouts. This satirical masterpiece brilliantly skewers national complacency and the absurdity of warfare.
