'The Quiet Soldier' is a searching and,often,very funny account of the boys who'd like to do our dirty work.Less than ten in a hundred applicants are accepted by the Special Air Service,and yet in the era of the smart bomb and chemical warhead Adam Ballinger began to doubt whether a man in the regiment could explain,even to himself,why he was there.The quiet soldier wins by staying in the shadows,Ballinger imagined.Only later did he realize that so does the IRA.
