The late C. W. "Duke" Acheson was an American Foreign Correspondent covering the War in the Middle East in
1948, and thereafter travelled throughout Africa interviewing heads of state and other fascinating people. This memoir captures the essence of daily life and describes his personal experiences after settling in Rhodesia with a young family "learning to be a farmer" in the wonderful years of the 50’s and 60’s when Rhodesia was at it's best! Often hilarious and moving with an informative account of the political situation of that era in southern Africa and the changes yet to come. Black and white photographs depict the life and times 'he' writes about.
