DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOK The book, "March of a Foot Soldier," written by DK Havanoor, a former officer of the Indian Army, is a delightfully humorous journey of his life in uniform. It is based on his experiences in the Indian Army, which is spun together and narrated lucidly with anecdotes from his career. It covers the ethos of the Indian Army in general, and the regiment of Sikh Light Infantry in particular, as he weaves his tale from when he decided to heed the call to arms and entered the portals of the Officers Training Academy and was then commissioned into his regiment. His life and experiences are a fascinating collection of real life humour in uniform, and depicts the military way of life in a gripping narrative. The book has broken the barriers of conventional military writing and presents to the reader a story devoid of excessive military terminology and details that would have made the book incomprehensible to a lay reader. It is a true representation of the fact that you may leave the army; but the army never leaves you. Narrated with a crisp lucidity the book reflects the nuances of military institutions and is expressed in a way that only Havanoor can. It brings to life the journey of a young man from boyhood to a combat ready officer and beyond. It brings home to the public that the role of Indian Army goes well beyond its purely military functions and that it contributes to myriad different roles like aid to civil authorities, nature conservation, arboriculture and so on. The attention to detail and characterization of officers and personnel whom the author has come into contact with have been described with a pathos and understanding that is the hallmark of the officer-man relationship in the Indian Army. Havanoor has depicted his in lucid detail the leadership qualities required while facing an enemy eyeball-to-eyeball on on the line of actual control. His narration of experiences of peacetime soldiering is graphically described on a diverse canvas in various theatres. The tales range from harmless gaffes to incidents fraught with danger. They bring home the intricacies of life in the army in an unforgettable read. It has even been have suggested that some of the episodes should be included in the leadership curriculum of management institutes. He has dealt with his regiment, The Sikh Light Infantry, in some detail. The Indian Army is more or less constantly in combat. The living conditions of the soldiers in field conditions along the border are generally primitive and having to improvise to improve one's lot is the hallmark of soldiering. The constraints are many and these have been captured by Havanoor with passion, while bringing out the spirit of soldiering in his 'March of a Foot Soldier'. The dedication, loyalty and pride in the profession of soldiers are described in a captivating manner. The book has been narrated in a simple language, chronologically in the first person. He has depicted the hard training of the Indian Army in a forthright manner and never fails to evoke the humour and poignancy in everyday situations. The amazing narrative is bound to keep the reader glued. Col Havanoor has amply displayed his intellectual qualities in penning his original, innovative ideas and analytical description of events. His feelings for the men he commanded and the lives that touched him lie sublimely under the narrative. The tales in the book are a thoughtful compilation of a conscientious military mind. Havanoor provides a nostalgic journey down memory lane in a story that raises the spirit and shows the intricacies of human endeavour in an unforgettable read.

These are just a few stories of many. Stories of the foot soldiers who were in the trenches during WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Desert Storm, the Second Gulf War, Desert Storm and Operation Enduring Freedom.

Raised in the small town of Globe, Arizona, these men went on to serve their country in World War II (Richard, Joe and Johnny), and the Korean and Vietnam War (Robert).

The first thing that caught my eye was the geezer with the gold tooth - the second was that he was holding a shooter - and the third that he was pointing it at me.' Carlton Leach is a gangland legend - the mere mention of his name strikes fear into his enemies; yet to his friends he is as loyal and caring as they come. If trouble comes calling, Carlton isn't afraid to let his fists do the talking and woe betide anyone who crosses him, or those close to him. At last, in Rise of the Footsoldier, Carlton gives the full account of his life including how his story has been made into a hugely successful film. Born and raised in East London, Carlton was a key member of the notorious Essex Boys gang and the West Ham InterCity Firm, one of the most violent hooligan gangs to trouble the football terraces during the eighties. He's been shot at, stabbed, glassed - he's even had an axe in his head. Yet the event that really brought turmoil into his life was the murder of his best friend in the infamous Range Rover murders. Carlton vowed that he would find those responsible and make them pay. There isn't much that Carlton hasn't seen or experienced in his life and his tales of violence, gang wars and close calls with death will have you on the edge of your seat. He knows how close he has come to dying and has therefore shut the door on a gangland life. He may have changed but, as he himself says, 'I'll always need to exercise the Carlton Leach brand of justice. It's in me -

A grunt’s-eye report from the battlefield in the spirit of The Red Badge of Courage and All Quiet on the Western Front—the only known account by a common soldier of the campaigns of Napoleon’s Grand Army between 1806 and 1813. When eighteen-year-old German stonemason Jakob Walter was conscripted into the Grand Army of Napoleon, he had no idea of the trials that lay ahead. The long, grueling marches in Prussia and Poland sacrificed countless men to Bonaparte’s grand designs. And the disastrous Russian campaign tested human endurance on an epic scale. Demoralized by defeat in a war few supported or understood, deprived of ammunition and leadership, driven past reason by starvation and bitter cold, men often turned on one another, killing fellow soldiers for bread or an able horse. Though there are numerous surviving accounts of the Napoleonic Wars written by officers, Walter’s is the only known memoir by a draftee, and as such is a unique and fascinating document—a compelling chronicle of a young soldier’s loss of innocence as well as an eloquent and moving portrait of the profound effects of war on the men who fight it. Professor Marc Raeff has added an Introduction to the memoirs as well as six letters home from the Russian front, previously unpublished in English, from German conscripts who served concurrently with Walter. The volume is illustrated with engravings and maps, contemporary with the manuscript, from the Russian/Soviet and East European collections of the New York Public Library. Honest, heartfelt, deeply personal yet objective, The Diary of a Napoleonic Foot Soldier is more than an informative and absorbing historical document—it is a timeless and unforgettable account of the horrors of war.
