I have read Clives first novel "Dando on Dehli Ridge", and expected to be entertained with his second book on the Imperial British soldier Joseph Dando, what a disappoinment. The first novel was full of the daily life and routine of being a member of Her Majesty's infantry,the training, discipline, and weapons that help young British soldiers slaughter thousands of lesser equipped and trained combatants throughout the third world. This second work on young Dando is a "waste of paper". Please save your money.
