This is the two part book one is the story consisting of "Cardboard in my shoes" and the second part is "So you want to be a paratrooper" it is both books in one." Cardboard in my shoes" is suitable for the younger reader and "so you want to be a paratrooper" is ONLY suitable for the adult reader. <br>The story is true story of a boys survival from 1943 in a war torn country to the unabashed, maybe naive, thoughts, voices, and actions of some of the young men involved in the madness of the so-called ‘brush fire wars’ of the nineteen sixties. With a birds eye view of some the horrors of the war, some say Pogrom, in Cyprus in 1963.64. The devious actions of politicians and religious leaders oversaw the murder of innocents that has been virtually written out of history for political ends. Whilst young servicemen did their duty, were injured, killed and unrecognized whilst politicians and especially the UN fiddled whilst Cyprus burned!
