Picking Up The Brass
The book that Andy McNab wouldn't want you to read !
Picking up the Brass is a hilarious look at what real life was like for the majority of young men who joined the British Army in the Eighties.
It follows Eddy Nugent, a bored fifteen year old, living in Manchester, as he travels through the drinking, swearing and sex-obsessed world of our nation's finest. It takes him from basic training in Harrogate and on to Aldershot and the rum soaked shores of Belize.
Written by two ex-soldiers, the book captures the unique aspects of the British Military sense of humour, through the language of 'Squaddie Speak'.
A must for anyone who has served, anyone who is planning to serve or anyone who has ever thought, "Surely everyone in the army isn't trained to kill people with a toothpick ?"
The authors donate a portion of the purchase price to service charities, and have also sent FREE copies out to the lads serving in the Sandpit (Iraq) and the Rockpile (the Afghan.)
Being ex-squaddies themselves they want to give something to the guys on the ground.
