Military Novels

All this recent talk of troops in berets and stuff reminds me (very
indirectly) of a good autobiography by a para Lt. working in Northern
Ireland in the 70s.  An interesting read since he recounts patrols in
urban
areas, acting as snatch squads during riots, patrols in rural ares and a
covert OP or two.

The book is "Contact" and the Author is A.F.N. Clarke.	An oldie but
well
worth seeking out.   Unfortunately I can't remember the publisher
(possibly
corgi ?) and my copy is back in Blighty so there is no chance of me
checking the isbn either.
