About this product

Product Information

This is the story of one boy's journey from his dysfunctional family in the 1960s slums of Belfast during the 'Troubles' to his welcoming and caring family in the Royal Navy. Part one, a story of depravity, abuse and incarceration is tragic and told with dark humour . Part two, the author's hilarious account of the beginnings of his naval career, is tragically funny.You will not find yourself feeling sorry for the 'poor wee Johnny Wardlow' of his childhood, but will cheer him on, as he avoids violence at home and evades paramilitary, police and army patrols on the streets. You'll have some sympathy for his criminal activities and will laugh with him as he navigates the welfare system, the justice system and the youth detention system.Part two will have you laughing out loud, as Paddy Skull (all will become clear!) describes in hilarious detail his first two years in the Royal Navy, taking you from a cold, wintry parade ground near Ipswich, to Central Park in New York City on the 4th of July 1976.
