About this listen
"It rained a lot and steamed when the sun shone. It was always hot. But it was safe...."
One way or another the Communist guerrilla war in Malaya kept a whole British army occupied from 1948 until 1952. They were the virgin soldiers. Idle, homesick, afraid, bored, oversexed, and unsatisfied.
A young virgin like Brigg had to grab his fun while and where he could - in the Liberty Club, in Juicy Lucy's flat or up in Phillipa's room - in one frantic attempt at living before he died or got demobbed....

Brilliant Novel of National Service Soldiers in the Far East
An Absolute Classic. I have read and reread this many many times, over the years. As a Veteran of the British Army, although not a National Serviceman, this book is bang on. It portrays young Soldiers perfectly. The Great Late Leslie Thomas is one of my Favorite Authors. The two other
Books in this series are brilliant too. The performance of Peter Wickham is also excellent. The 1969 feature film is a very good version of this novel. The Story is so good that it has everything needed to carry it all together. Highly Recommended to everyone who relishes a great story.
