Hal Treherne is a soldier on the brink of a brilliant career. Impatient to see action, his other commitment in life is to his beloved wife, Clara, and when Hal is transferred to Cyprus she and their twin daughters join him. But the island is in the heat of the emergency; the British are defending the colony against Cypriots.
'Small Wars' sees soldier Hal Treherne on the brink of a brilliant military career, when he and his family are posted to an emergency gripped Cyprus. Hal and the British must defend the colony against Cypriot guerrillas, some no more than school boys, who are fighting for unification with Greece.
Hal’s wife Clara shares her husband’s sense of duty and knows that, despite the harsh circumstances, she must knuckle down and make the very best of things. But the action Hal sees on Cyprus changes him, and the atrocities he is drawn into take him not only further away from Clara, but from himself too.
