Through a series of dreams about the same mission in Iraq a junior officer learns from his mistakes until he wakes to realise he now has the answers to achieve success. The idea is based on the "the defence of duffer's drift" written in 1907 about the Boer War by E D Swinton (later Major General commandant of the Royal Tank Corps) which forms the second half of this book.
