Fathers and Sons

My father had a most interesting life and is the main character in this story. The twists and turns of his early life bring to light changes in the world in almost every aspect. For Dad and later for us, his life was an extraordinary ‘hands on’ education. There were experiences of national and international conflicts, exploration, differing cultures, upheavals, and life changes in at least three generations. I felt his story was a story that needed to be told, not only to our existing family, but to a wider audience.

I feel I’ve had a lucky life and especially benefitted from my investigation of those two men.
