I read this years ago.You can't really do it one one hit.A suureal take on War,systems,the military and truly funny and sad.Try Ebay or abebooks as is it has been published in pback for years.Sure yr library will have it. Great jokes cf Major Major Major.Also the chocolate covered cotton.A film was made of the book but it's nowhere near as good-they ussually aren't.
