"See the dots, boy. Can you see them? They're not even towns, most of them. They're settlements, handfuls of human beings huddled together in the sand. Know this about your brother: he went out into that desert and he did not come back." There has never been a deserter in Bas Adams' family - from the Somme to Vietnam.
