Title: The seven lives of Colonel Patterson
First published: 2008
Description: This first full-length biography of British Colonel John Henry Patterson (1867-1947) describes the man as a blend of seven identities: Irish-born soldier, lion hunter, bridge builder, East African game warden, author, man-about-town, and Zionist. As information on Patterson's childhood is scarce, the biography begins with his assignment in East Africa and goes up to his later years working for the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Brian is the author of other biographies and books.
