'LAWRENCE G. GREEN is the author of many books on Africa and a contributor to leading magazines in Britain and the United States. He lives in Cape Town and from this base, in peace and in war, he has travelled widely. "Green likes mysteries, and Africa seems to have a lifetime supply for him," remarked the Saturday Evening Post of America when publishing one of his contributions.
Life begins for Lawrence Green when the last hotel, the last Police Station and the last fence have been left behind. He is an authority on the lonely places of Africa, the wild life, and the queer and adventurous characters, past and present. In this book, however, you find him in the cities as well as the remote islands and open spaces. Here is adventure, and also a philosophy of life. This is an authentic book, one of the most remarkable literary efforts to come out of Africa for some time.' - editor's note
