Trama

In this irreverent and provocative book, Lewis Page exposes the scandalous state of our armed forces- how British soldiers are sent off to war with some of the worst guns around, how the MOD keeps financing useless toys (at huge expense to taxpayers), and how decisions seem to be made with an eye, above all, for the interests of British Aerospace.
