Television's "Soldier Soldier" has always been a character-led drama. Following the lives of the King's Own Fusiliers from the time of their induction as new recruits in the first series, it places strong emphasis on their relationships with their wives and girlfriends. This book chronicles the lives - public and private - of the key characters in the first four series. A section is devoted to each principal character. The book details their history as seen on the screen, and goes back even further to their childhood and teenage years. It also contains interviews with cast members.
