Synopsis

How I Became a Governor offers a veteran diplomat’s eye on empire, risk, and leadership.

This memoir traces a life spent in distant posts, from beacons of law and order in Australia and Africa to the corridors of power in Bechuanaland and Barbados. Rich with personal stories, it reveals the challenges of governance, the people who shaped decisions, and the moments that tested character and resolve.

  • A vivid travelogue through colonial life, politics, and diplomacy
  • Crises and decisions in Africa, Gibraltar, Barbados, and beyond
  • Colorful anecdotes that illuminate leadership, judgment, and resilience
Ideal for readers of historical memoirs, imperial history, and stories of public service told from the inside.
