THIS IS THE STORY of a group of young men who enlist in a Scottish Infantry battalion in the nineteen eighties as their only escape from Thatcher’s wasteland. THIS IS THE STORY of the loyalties and betrayals that they encounter during deployment in Germany and during the first Gulf War, treading a dangerous path between morality and rules in the pursuit of doing what they perceive to be right. THIS IS WHAT YOU GET when you tear apart our communities and leave us with no hope and little choice. This is what you get when you train us to kill and then throw us on the scrap heap. This is what you get when you mess with us. IAIN MACLACHLAIN is an award-winning first-time novelist from Morayshire. He believes passionately in writing in his local North-east Scots. From a working-class background, Iain was shortlisted for the Penguin/ Random House WriteNow programme in 2020. Cover image features the painting Exercise Yard reproduced with the kind permission of the artist, Peter Howson. This book is supported by a Scots Language Publication Grant from the Scottish Book Trust.
