This is Horsfall's second in the Wise Old Paratrooper series. It contains his own philosophical proverbs, short stories, maxims and poetry. Thought provoking, humorous and often moving this anthology reveals many of the emotions and inner thoughts of a 'tough guy'. The book is a blend of warrior poet, martial arts sage, military historian and just plain soldier comedian. It takes the reader from the sublime to the ridiculous and back without pause. Satirical and humorous stories are balanced with political commentary and maxims that demand introspection and self-examination. This collection is fast moving but once finished the reader will be compelled to return to the beginning to discover what was missed the first time around.
