Book Description
"I had no ambition to write any story at all. My father was a soldier and served overseas with the A.I.F. during the Second World War. With his discharge, he was encouraged to apply for War Service, and to also put his name forward for the Soldier Settlement Scheme, which all states supported. This allocation of land could be anywhere, usually in the state of residence. But let me say, the back of beyond and woop woop, could well be where most families ended up.As a young boy, I really could not understand the behaviour of my father, no doubt damaged from war service as were most, who have seen action. As I grew older, being the youngest, I felt left out. Even at six or seven years old, my best friends, where my bike and my dog. Together we roamed far and wide, looking for odd jobs. Always yearning for my independence, my father conceded and sent me into the navy for twelve years. I was fifteen years old. Three books cover a life of great moments and torment, and what willed me on, at all costs, to achieve in, opportunities that came my way. Generally though, under a great deal of duress, I hurt those who were closest. In 2006, after two years of psychiatric treatment and forty - two years after a savage ambush at sea, on 17 December, 1964 at Raffles Light ,Singapore, I was diagnosed with long- term mental scarring and PTSD. I was also told that I had probably been 'On the Spectrum' since very early childhood. Then my lifetime of hard work, achievements and still more to hope for, were brought to a crushing demise, by a simple hip replacement that went horribly wrong.My reason for writing these books, is I believe, my family, who witnessed my behaviour and temperament, just like I had witnessed my own father's. Totally misunderstood, how can one verbally explain? The written word can only be erased by turning the page. This synopsis covers the three books. Keeping in mind -the first book has 400 plus pages - also the second and third.I hope others in our vast community can relate to the words within these pages. Thank you for reading." -- from publishers website.

Book Description
This book scrutinises ‘peace’ and ‘war' through Australian lenses. It uncovers a deeper understanding of these terms and reflects a desire to bring to light alternative Australian ideas of war and peacemaking. Certain stories have eclipsed others that add importantly to Australia’s history. This Quaker initiative considers a plurality of voices and the ‘truths’ they purport. It unpacks the act of ‘memorialising' to discover the marked impact we make in our efforts to hold on to meaning and to our past. What have been the effects of our responses to the maxim ’Lest we forget’?

Book Description
The riveting true story of decadence, deception, and murder among British aristocrats in colonial Kenya In 1941, with London burning in the Blitz, a group of hedonistic English nobles partied shamelessly in Kenya. Far removed from falling bombs, the wealthy elites of “Happy Valley” indulged in morphine, alcohol, and unrestricted sex, often with their friends’ spouses. But the party turned sinister in the early hours of a January morning for Josslyn Hay, Lord Erroll, who had been enjoying the favors of the beautiful young wife of a middle-aged neighbor. Hay was found dead, a bullet in his brain. The murder shocked the close-knit community of wealthy expatriates in Nairobi and shined a harsh light on their louche lifestyle. Three decades later, author James Fox researched the slaying of Lord Erroll, an unsolved crime still sheathed in a thick cloud of rumor and innuendo. What he discovered was both unsettling and luridly compelling. White Mischief is a spellbinding true-crime classic, a tale of privileged excess and the wages of sin, and an account of one writer’s determined effort to crack a cold and craven killing.
