About the Book

The Emergency Bouzouki Player is the true story of a teenager forcibly conscripted into the South African army for two years of national service at the height of the Angolan Border War.
Based on the his detailed journal "the cruelty, the absurdity and the mindlessness of life in the South African army are candidly described in this first-hand account by a young conscript who, to escape the infamous Diskobolos Infantry Training Camp and its murderous instructors, claimed he could play the bouzouki in a subterfuge that was to have unforeseen, sometimes comical and sometimes life-threatening consequences.
Most of all, the Emergency Bouzouki Player depicts the way in which hope can carry a young person through the worst of times"
