I will preface this review by observing that I have always been grateful that no government of my country has ever forced (or even asked) me to hold a gun for them and, also, that no one has directly shot at me (although I have been in a few places where guns have been fired in anger). I am aware that one of the reasons for this is the sacrifices made by those who went before me, not least those who were obliged like my father to undergo national service in the years following the Second World War.
