At three in the morning, after six or seven days without sleep, John Merrieden watched one team make cardboard boxes while another stamped them flat. The two lines had joined, and it took him a while to see the problem.

Curiosity had taken John from an electrician's van into computing, freight and, eventually, a clothing warehouse where coats, broom handles and missing socks had somehow become everybody's urgent business. The work was serious. Some of the solutions were difficult to describe with a straight face.

With Socks We Will Win the War follows the people, mistakes and unlikely fixes behind a career that never quite switched off. It is a funny, candid memoir about work, family and finding purpose, especially when the work stops.
