" Very much a book of its time and place. The universal squaddie, Svejk, frustrates the might of bureaucracy and incompetence on the eastern front in WW1, with his feigned simplicity and wealth of anecdote. No wonder the survivors of WW1, like my father, loved this book. Anarchy Rules OK! as we used to say in the 60s. "
