Description
Lt. Colonel Jock Sinclair and Colonel Barrow are two men with vastly different backgrounds, yet both have been shaped by their experiences in the army. Jock Sinclair, a seasoned soldier, has risen through the ranks to become a respected leader, while Colonel Barrow, an officer from Oxford and Sandhurst, has faced the harsh realities of war in Japanese prison camps. As they clash in the confined world of Campbell barracks, tensions escalate into tragedy. James Kennaway's firsthand experience of army life lends authenticity and humour to this gripping novel, which explores the complexities of military hierarchy and the human cost of conflict. First published in 1989, Tunes of Glory is a powerful and intense portrayal of the army's inner workings, written by an author who drew on his own experiences.
