Synopsis
With true stories and confessions that would make even Somerset Maugham blush, John Dodd has penned a fascinating, and often hilarious, memoir of his life as a colonial rubber planter in 1950s Malaya. When not exploring the Chinese bars and brothels of Penang, there were strikes, riots, snakes, plantation fires and deadly ambushes by Communist terrorists to contend with.
