Slightly Foxed Adrift on the Tides of War
Slightly Foxed Adrift on the Tides of War

Intimate war reflections, serenely personal.

If the ebbs and flows of history fascinate you, 'Slightly Foxed' offers a unique vantage point. You're not just reading about war; you're living through someone's deeply personal experiences. It's the literary equivalent of finding a treasured, old photograph in a book - hauntingly familiar yet wholly new.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
