Once a Grunt

Author(s): Mike Ledingham

New Zealand Fiction

Once a Grunt is an offbeat collection of 10 short stories loosely based on Mike Ledingham's experiences in the New Zealand army (Infantry and SAS) and beyond. They reflect Mike's keen enjoyment of the funny side of life, his total lack of respect for bullies and self-important wallies, and his deep empathy with the underdog. His stories will have you doubled up with laughter one minute, seething with indignation the next. Whether you're an ex-soldier, a parent, or just one of life's battlers, you'll recognise the truths he's captured.
