Bootneck Bootneck by Frank Croskerry

From an early childhood of post war austerity in a bankrupted Britain, the book is Croskerry's journey from a troubled adolescence to a life of normality. The story illustrates the contrast between the blue Royal Marines of his fathers generation to the Royal Marine Commandos of the 1960's. Whether you are a former serviceman, a baby boomer, or just someone looking for an adventurous read, you will enjoy a nostalgic walk through a transformative period of our time.

Croskerry is the middle son of five brothers born between 1940 - 1949. He was born in Northern Ireland to an Irish father and mother from Yorkshire and raised in the south of England. He prefers to be described as of British heritage but proudly Canadian.
