I'm reading Tom Hickman's 'The Call-Up' - ISBN 0 7553 1241 4
It's a fascinating look at National Service. The politics are discussed on the run up to the legislation being passed, with all the proponents and dissenters. There are many accounts from those who did their national service, from Germany to Malaya. I didn't even know that National Service was never compulsory in Northern Ireland! It's a marvellous trip into the past which really gives the reader a feel for the times.
