Sequel to 'The Road To Nab End'. In the early 1930's the author arrives in Poplar and gets a job in a foundry. The work is grim - but it's a job! He decides to better himself, and eventually gets a place at Ruskin College, Oxford. Later he goes off to war and returns to meet the young son he has never seen. X rated, explicit sexual content.

One of the most convincing and quietly magnificent stories about man and war. It could be any battlefield where men face death, but it is set in Italy in 1944, and is about the people who fought for their lives in Anzio.

In 1938 the rowing eight of Arnold College, Oxford are a varied bunch united only by their love of rowing and their feeling that war is inevitable. As the war progresses they stand by their beliefs of faith, loyalty and self-sacrifice.
