Annotation
This short, diary-style novel, by a British army veteran chronicles the difficulties faced by Tommy, a 23-year-old squaddie, as he desperately tries to conquer post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) - shell shock. His over-emotional responses to the stresses of everyday life - post-office queues, a trip to Ikea, and his relationship with his family and girlfriend - eventually lead to alienation and suicidal urges. Told in the vernacular, with humour and personal understanding, the story highlights the work of the Charity Combat Stress in rehabilitating returning troops.
