Still the "must have" book for all wargamers everywhere, this irreverent but touching story of one mans obsessions will strike a chord with us all.

Product Description

* A brilliantly funny and nostalgic look at 1960s and 70s childhood as well as a more serious examination of boys' (and some men's) obsession with war
