Soldier for a Summer by Sam Najjair - Review coming soon!

 I've just ordered a fantastic new book by an Irish-Libyan man named Sam Najjair from Dublin who fought in the Libyan revolution. The first and only book I read about the revolution was 'Colonel Gaddafi's Hat' by Sky News reporter Alex Crawford. It was a great read and one of only a few books I have actually bought, instead of just borrowing from the library. One of the reasons I also bought 'Soldier for a Summer' is because someday when I'm married with kids, these books will live on, and my kids can read them. I am someone who is very interested in history, and for my children this will be part of their history. Also for a long time there was literally nothing coming out of Libya, and if there was, it was all Gaddafi approved. There could be no books speaking against him, or any free press who could print whatever they liked. It was all a huge propaganda machine.

If you are interested in this book, you can listen to a fantastic podcast that was aired on radio in Ireland on 04/09/2013, you can listen to the interview here.

If you would like to buy the book, this is the link to buy from Amazon .

The review will be up once I've read it. I won't be rushing so it could be a few weeks. I also have the Eurogamer expo coming up later this month in Earl's Court, London, for which I will also post a full review. Thank you for reading!
