The 35-millimeter Trap John Getgood

A young man, Peter, who plans to become an architect, has his dream shattered by the declaration of war in 1939.

The 35-Millimeter Trap is not about the war but about a man who, at the early age of 24, develops a deep hatred of bureaucracy and dishonest politicians.

Like so many other men at the time, he is called to the services, where he meets Dinger Bailey, destined to become his friend for life. Dinger was the product of Reform School who made good. They both meet the notorious Sergeant Mosskoff.

Peter is an idealist who is aware of the fact that he has a charmed life. He and his young wife, built a world of supreme happiness they were sure could last forever. Is it possible for such people to survive if disaster strikes?

Archie Thompson is Peter's close friend who made a fortune selling war surplus material. Then something happened that not only changed his life, but the lives of many other people, including Peter himself.

The almost unknown village of Little Beddow became the center of international intrigue. Archie blames himself for the unforeseen chaos created by what he described as "His one and only big mistake."
