Over dit audioboek

Brief and bracing, tragic yet darkly funny, The Odd Angry Shot is an award winning commentary on Vietnam, following a close-knit group of knockabout SAS fighters: their friendships, homesickness and fears; their practical jokes, drinking and fighting. Chronicling their experiences over one year, we learn that their enemy is not just the Vietcong, but their superiors, the mud and torrential rain, and boredom. It is a reflective and brutal account of how war damages not only physically but psychologically, as soldiers readjust to home life.

Over de auteur

William Lawrence Nagle (4 June 1947 - 5 March 2002) was an Australian soldier, author, actor, and screenwriter. His first book, The Odd Angry Shot, written after his return from the Vietnam War and exit from the army, traced the lives of a group of Australian soldiers from their departure from Australia, their rotation in South Vietnam, and return to Australia. The book was made into a movie of the same name.

Humphrey Bower is a gifted and versatile actor. Since obtaining a BA (Hons) in English Language and Literature at Oxford University, he has worked extensively in theatre, television and audiobook narration. Humphrey won the prestigious Audie Award (US) for his performance of The Family Frying Pan by Bryce Courtenay, and was shortlisted for an Audie Award for his performances of Gould's Book of Fish by Richard Flanagan and Brother Fish by Bryce Courtenay.
