A crippling disability has left him cynical and disillusioned; he struggles against a drink problem at home, and politics and petty pride at work. Worse still, he fears he is not good enough for the woman he loves.
But the enemy are dropping a new type of booby bomb, causing many casualties. Only Sammy has the know-how to defuse it - and as he comes fact to face with real danger, a bomb which has blown apart braver and better men than he, all the old inadequacies return to haunt him . . . Can he, at last, prove his worth, and put his demons to rest?
A true twentieth century classic novel, 'The Small Back Room' is equally famous in the 1948 film adaptation.
