Book Description
Charles Forrester is born into a dysfunctional family in Southern Rhodesia. He grows up in a close relationship with wildlife, and the changing world around him. He becomes involved with the terrorist war, where solving problems, by killing, becomes normal.When he gets expelled, after the regime change in 1980, he continues his unbalanced life, until he has the chance to kill the President of Zimbabwe that was Rhodesia. This is the first of two books, which maps his life, and the beginnings of his awareness of life after death, regression and soul searching; and his understanding that animals may be more perceptive than we think.Charles travels the back roads of Rhodesia by ox wagon and by motorcycle; the skies of Africa in light aircraft; and the Oceans in an old wooden cruising yacht. His journeys take him from the bush trails of the Zambezi Valley, to the wine routes of the Cape, and the streets of New York; from haunted seas to smuggler’s ports.He pilots arms dealers’ cargo aircraft;kills without compunction;and yet is enthralled by the beauty of a butterfly.

From the Inside Flap
The verse on the front cover comes from a poem about Oradour sur Glane, a village in France where the entire population was killed by the Nazis in 1944. The whole poem is available from the author's website.
The victims of past, become killers of now,
Their sons and their daughters, make sabres from plough.
They return to wreak vengeance, with bombs suicide,
Back to kill those, who on them violence plied.
