AbstractHistoryArchive Description

It is 1968. The Vietnam conflict rages. The Gods of War once more require the sacrifice of sons. Jim, a fifteen year old schoolboy, armed only with a rich imagination and a lively, irreverent sense of humour, gallantly resists the efforts of home, school and society to brutalise his nature and prepare him for the role of sacrificial lamb.
