About this book
As compelling as it is a delight to read, Royal Engineer is a military memoir that is truly a breath of fresh air and a 'must' read for anyone who has an interest in either the military or modern history, and for those who quite simply enjoy a good read.
Fascinating, honest, gripping, hard-hitting and never shying away from the truth, the author's passion for chronicling his and others' past events and experiences becomes abundantly clear from the very beginning. The unique style of writing and the way in which detailed narratives are brilliantly incorporated make Royal Engineer a powerful and moving memoir. Emotions, opinions, positives, and negatives are freely shared with the reader to ensure that there is no sugar-coating on subjects and matters that are of a sensitive and topical nature in today's world.
Be prepared for a reading experience like no other because Royal Engineer is filled with comprehensive and engaging narratives that will have the reader mesmerised from the very first page, and it is also a remarkable piece of writing because of the honest approach and evocative language the author adopts throughout.
