Synopsis

Following an early childhood in Cape Town, struggling with school and receiving beatings at the hands of an authoritarian father, Guy Rogers developed the courage and strength of character that would serve him well throughout his varied and colourful career. Recounting here his time in the army, life working in the mines and for the police force in Rhodesia, the effects of apartheid upon his life are seen vividly alongside personal experiences of love and tragedy. In this charming account we encounter leading political figures, witness Royal visits and see the carefree innocence of youth survive even the worst political unrest. Re-examining his highs and lows with honesty, this is the story of one man as he looks back, over his shoulder, at his life.

Biographie de l'auteur

In my book, if you will forgive the pun, this story of events covering the earlier part of my life in South Africa and then Rhodesia is a must for anyone who has had contact with those countries and would make an ideal gift for occasions such as birthdays, father's day and Christmas. Of British lineage, Guy Rogers is now seventy-two years of age and lives in Essex, UK, with his third wife, Lorna.
