WONDERFUL MEMORIES (3/3 people found this helpful)
As an ex-Rhodeian territorial soldier, I consider 'James and the Duck' by Faan Martin, a wonderful collection of everyday experiences I personally can relate to.
In the past I have read many books written about Rhodesia, usually by apologists, and to be quite honest they have without exception, all been a load of sickening rubbish. James and the Duck however, is the best read I have had for a long time.
James and the Duck: Tales of the Rhodesian Bush War (6/6 people found this helpful)
Summary: Very informative & Personal account of at times, surreal war time experiences.
Reviewer: Reader from Glasgow, Scotland.
This is a collection of short stories which I found very informative about a war that I knew very little about before reading the book. Told from the Author's own real-life experiences, there is no skimping on the reality, but his humour is evident throughout. There is a great mixture of funny, sad and shocking in here - I would thoroughly recommend it!
