How it works

Register

Born and educated in South Africa, the author lived most of his life in Europe, mainly as a British war and foreign correspondent. This book is the result of a year travelling on his own from Sudan to Rhodesia and moving north again to Ghana.

The jacket is chipped head and foot with two small unclosed tears at the top. The black cloth boards, gilt to spine, have a small bump at the head of the front panel; the lower corner of the back cover is lightly crushed, with the mark continued through several of the back leaves. The 383 pp of text and index + 13 inserted maps + 12 pp of plates are otherwise all present, clean and undiscoloured.
