Join us for the launch of Neil Cole’s Colonel Surry’s Insanity.

This is the story of John Surry, a solicitor and former Colonel in the Second World War, who pleads Not Guilty to taking money from his client’s trust account on the grounds that he was insane at the time he committed the offence with manic depression. When he is found Not Guilty he is sent to psychiatric prison. The story chronicles a man of who has enormous mood swings during the war and after. It is set against the backdrop of conscription of soldiers for the Vietnam War. The book poses the question what is sanity as young men are sent off to fight and be killed in a war in Asia. It makes you realise that young people who had to die in that war is as insane as the illness that John Surry has.

This book is the definitive book on bipolar mood disorder told as a novel in a humurous and poignant manner.
