Paperback. Condition: Very Good. After a lifetime's close observation of the continent, one of the world's finest Africa correspondents has penned a landmark book on life and death in modern Africa.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Dowden, Anne Ophelia (illustrator).

Paperback. Condition: Good. At the end of his illustrious career as an international adventurer and soldier of fortune, Lord Higford decided he needed to write his memoirs. But he decided he needed to address both his personal life and his adventures abroad, describe in detail his love life as well as his battles. From the start, he identified the key moments in his life, such as the premature death of his mother or his father's decision to send him away from home to boarding school when he was only eight years old. But the most important event in Higford's young life was when a tutor at Eton took an interest in him and applied the effort to teach him to write, and afterward, critically, introduced him to adventure literature. Most important of these was the story of Jason and his quest for the Golden Fleece from Greek mythology. This story captivated him and drove him to read the life adventures of England's greatest soldiers and adventurers, including Sir Richard Burton, Winston Churchill, and Fitzroy Maclean. Inspired by these works, Higford decided that his life's work would also be that of an explorer, adventurer, soldier, and fighter for the British Empire. Instead of going to Oxford, he joined the SAS, England's elite fighting force, and was sent to all corners of the world to fight anti-colonial insurgencies. His career culminated in the quick war against the Argentines in the Falklands. It was a war that ended his SAS career as well as spelled the end of his marriage. Afterward, he participated as a mercenary several times in Africa and decided it was better to run mercenaries than to be one, so he established one of the world's first private military companies supplying mercenaries to causes and regimes in Africa and Asia. This was how he stumbled onto his final, greatest, and most notorious adventure, one that nearly cost him his life, his career, his fortune, and his rank as an English peer.
