This book is an interesting look at the inner daily workings of an army. While this book is about the Polish army, you could probably apply the scenarios to just about any army. In a hilarious mishap, two soldiers of the same name (Private Lenczyk) swap places by accident. The truly competent solider is derailed by life events while the not-so-great soldier must shoulder on in his place, in a live mission, no less! Reminiscent of M*A*S*H, this book explores what happens in armies, and why! Ah, the politics, the necessities that generate various absurdities, and the language of the army (coarse, earthy, and true-to-life). This book is a great read for people who want like shows such as M*A*S*H or perhaps have been in the military and would like to see a book that portrays army life "as it really is" on a daily basis. A fun fast read! I'm looking forward to the next installment...
