Following an early childhood in Cape Town, struggling with school and receiving beatings at the hands of an authoritarian father, Guy Rogers developed the courage and strength of character that would serve him well throughout his varied and colourful career. Recounting here his time in the army, life working in the mines and for the police force in Rhodesia, the effects of apartheid upon his life are seen vividly alongside personal experiences of love and tragedy.

In this charming account we encounter leading political figures, witness Royal visits and see the carefree innocence of youth survive even the worst political unrest. Re-examining his highs and lows with honesty, this is the story of one man as he looks back, over his shoulder, at his life.
