Britain and Britishness at its best

For all of you who enjoy a kind of tongue-in-cheek jingoism, a ridiculous story line and completely believable unbelievable characters, coupled with some poignant moments, this is a must read.

Barry Truckerson could be the child of Margaret Thatcher and Major Dennis Bloodnook, with tips on child rearing from Biggles and Bertie Wooster.

The story line takes us back to an era when all life's problems could be dealt with by discipline and a chinless wonder attitude.

Read it for a good chuckle and a fair bit of satire, John Griffiths is an undiscovered treasure of a writer, I'm sure that we haven't heard the last of him.

When John Griffiths sets out to create a character, nothing and nobody is spared. Barry Truckerson, the subject of this compelling biography, is more than a figment of his imagination. Trux is a compilation of Biggles, Guy Gibson, Douglas Bader, Herman Goering and the complete cast of the Goon Show. He lurches from crisis to crisis in the certain knowledge that whatever he attempts will turn out right. With a passion for military music and parade ground ceremonial, he skips lightly where others fear to tread. He is the epitome of super-heroes and supersedes John Wayne as the person who single handedly overcame the enemies of democracy.
