Military Novels

All this recent talk of troops in berets and stuff reminds me (very
indirectly) of a good autobiography by a para Lt. working in Northern Ireland
in the 70s. An interesting read since he recounts patrols in urban areas,
acting as snatch squads during riots, patrols in rural ares and a covert OP or
two.

The book is "Contact" and the Author is A.F.N. Clarke. An oldie but well
worth seeking out.   Unfortunately I can't remember the publisher
(possibly corgi?) and my copy is back in Blighty so there is no chance of me
checking the isbn either.
