Mahaschavi in peace and war;: [novel]

It's plot is about an Israeli chicken farmer/soldier who triumphs over bureaucracy. Mahaschavi's antics, as chronicled by his bedazzled friend Moy, the village doctor, are fresh and funny. Read and howl at how Mahaschavi rescued the philatelist-pharmacist Tsvi from Arab bandits; how he introduced the Ten Commandments as a political platform (to everyone's consternation) how he contrived to keep the brothels of Zagazig free of military police; how he used his precious monocle as a weapon in his own private war vs. the Army.
