In 1940, Winston Churchill famously set in motion the Special Operations Executive. With only the moon to guide their way, the daring pilots of 161 Squadron constantly faced danger: their locations could be discovered, German night-fighters and flak had to be contended with and, of course, they dealt with the worst of European weather. Despite these extra risks, these Special Duties pilots were remarkably successful.

But when Mowat and his regiment engaged with elite German forces in the mountains of Sicily, the optimism of their early days as soldiers was replaced by despair.

So, who fits the soldier with the emotional and spiritual prosthesis? "Where The Light Enters" is a memoir about the impact the Vietnam War had on one soldier's life.
