Book of the Week - The Junior Officer's Reading Club - Cleaning Your Room

Patrick Hennessey reads his soldier's tale for the 21st century; an account of his experiences at Sandhurst and then on deployment in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan's Helmand Province. The Guards are ecstatic - rumour becomes reality and they head to Iraq. The surge is ongoing, but it is not their surge. Instead they are listening to Elvis and Johnny Cash, as they throw anything but parties at the Iraqi jail. A Sweet Talk production for BBC Radio 4.
