Review by customer and safari specialist, Tania Perkins:
"Such a fantastic and beautiful book – spanning the writer’s life. Starting with a typical African childhood and moving onto his adventures as a journalist during the war, this book shows this amazing country from two completely different lights."

More on Peter Godwin's book:
Growing up in Rhodesia in the 1960s, Peter Godwin inhabited a magical and frightening world of leopard-hunting, lepers, witch doctors, snakes and forest fires. As an adolescent, a conscript caught in the middle of a vicioud civil war, and then as an adult who returned to Zimbabwe as a journalist to cover the bloody transition to majority rule, he discovered a land stalked by death and danger.
