Portrait of a Partnership recounts the life of Alec Dickson, CBE, and that of Mora Dickson, from their separate growing-up years in England and Scotland through their meeting in London during World War II, the events of the war that shaped their lives, their marriage, and their initial work in Nigeria in the 1950s that led to the creation of VSO. It documents the pain of the 'palace coup' which removed Alec Dickson as director of VSO just as he was in Washington advising President Kennedy, the despair that followed, and then the founding of CSV.
An artist by profession, Mora Dickson s book is illustrated throughout with her pen and ink drawings.
