Three Sips of Gin - Memoirs of an African Adventure
Three Sips of Gin is the best book I've read on the Rhodesian troubles by a million miles. It's funny, vibrant, serious, exciting and thoroughly entertaining. Forget even the hint of a Mea Culpa syndrome. This is a remarkable book. --Bob Blair: Ex Daily Mirror, Ottawa Citizen, South China Morning Post Group, Rand Daily Mail.A wonderful African sundowner of a book, to be read on the veranda as the sun slips behind the night and the cool of the evening calms the soul, and we reflect upon who we are - the lost tribe of Africa. The author s whimsical sense of humour is refreshingly unique. I have not had such a pleasurable read for many years. --Brian Murphy. Rhodesian magistrate, cricketer and sports commentator.A fascinating account and an essential read about pre-independent Africa. Although an outstanding officer of extraordinary ability, Tim s hilarious recollections of war and peace are awash with the light- hearted wit and humor for which he will always be remembered. A unique and compelling memoir. --Lieutenant Colonel Charles Aust. Commanding Officer, Rhodesian Light Infantry.
