This book is not only about the Army but also recounts the close bond he formed with the people across the East African countries in which he served. His vivid descriptions of the people and the natural history of a part of the world where nature can be as interesting as it gets, is combined with a brief account of the Mau Mau Campaign. He writes beautifully of the people of Northern Uganda as well as the birds and animals of East Africa. Covering serious subjects such as conservation yet entertaining us by writing with great humour."
