Quartered Safe Out Here 5/5

Depiction of British campaign from the regular soldier's viewpoint at the end of WWII in Burma. 

This was a remarkable book. It feels honest all the way through, which must be one of the hardest things to do.

Interesting topics discussed: 

Hiroshima--just or unjust (yes)
Minor battles--no such thing to soldier
Cumbrian fighting man, inner strength and toughness
Virtues of not talking about everything
Not feeling guilty about killing in war

I'm not coming close to giving this book justice.  Short, memorable.  I'll definitely reread in a few years.

He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (18...
