The Homecoming (Paperback)

The Homecoming is a work of fiction which is largely based on the life story of John Douglas who was the author's uncle. John was an adventurer and natural raconteur, and a serial volunteer. In 1910 he opted out of a military campaign in Afghanistan and deserted but went on to participate in another three Wars. In a sense this book is a social history of the early 20th century as well as a story of the extraordinary experiences of John Douglas.
