About the Book

Tim Croy is an average thirteen year old boy with a dark secret in his recent past. Join Tim as he starts at a mid ranking Public School in 1975 and follow him and his peers as they wade through the confusion of unfamiliar rules regulations and traditions of an ancient school during the slow moving first few days. As the boys settle in the pace quickens and Tim experiences the horrors of fagging, constant bullying and the gradual understanding that he is destined never to fit in with the expectations of the school. Feel the pride and excitement of totally unexpected sporting success and weep as Tim suffers serious physical abuse which comes close to making Tim end it all. Take pride in Tim as he fights back and see the gentle kindness which develops between Tim and some senior boys. Laugh out loud as the maturing Tim begins to take control of his situation with subversive and subtle challenges and disruptions to the self satisfied routines of the school. Share the fun that Tim and his two close friends begin to derive from observing the ways of the school from the view point of questioning teenagers and cry with Tim as he has to face the shock of tragedy befalling his closest friend. To Fight My Own Battles looks closely at the accepted standards of the period and their long lasting effects on those who were subjected to them. Had Tim been at school in modern times he would have been considered to be depressed, possibly traumatized but in the 1970's it was simply expected that a boy should take all such things in his stride and it was accepted that this was a part of the transition from boyhood to manhood.
