Publisher Description
Burmese War, 1852. Unable to join the famous Royal Malverns, Jack Windrush is commissioned into the despised 113th Foot.
Determined to rise in the ranks and make a name for himself, he is sent with the 113th to join the British expedition. But when they get involved in the attack of Rangoon, Jack realizes that war on the fringes of the Empire is not as honorable and glorious as he expected.
After a chance meeting with a renegade British soldier, Jack witnesses the true terrors of war, and begins to question the whole framework in which he has grown up.

Relentless realities
JACK WINDRUSH - ?Who lives thru that much danger with just their wits hanging on an instinct to look beyond the moment?
SERGEANT WELLS - well… say no more.
This cast is crack sharp real - the battles are clear and quick - torturously slow - as waiting is -
until there beside you are those still breathing who must move or die.
A relentless jungle war - and plenty of truth about surviving to win.
