"An African Childhood" by Alexandra Fuller. Any one here read this book?
Is it an accurate account of life in Africa [Rhodesia, Zambia & Malawi]
from 1972 until the mid 80's?

Yes and get a hold of Hazel Crane's book as well. It contains a lot of stuff
about SA and Rhod that never made the newspapers. Hazel Crane managed to
consort with Winnie Mandela as well as some serious apartheid enforcers that
managed to duck past the TRC.
Peter Stiff's upcoming new book will fill in a few of the gaps that one may
perceive in the other books.

The book that I would really love to see is an expose on the life and times
of Ken Flowers. who was reportedly a close confidante cum employee of both
Harold Wilson and Ian Smith at different times in his life.

Knew her when she was just a snotty kid i did. Someone read some excerpts to
me the other day and I was surprised at what some of the people that I knew
had been getting up to. Stiff's new book will show that it was a little more
than the Israeli mob.

I still want to know if Ken Flowers has published his memoirs yet. He was
the geezer that was apparently employed intermittently by the Brit secret
service and the Rhodesian army spooks on some sort of a rotational basis.
They say that he was responsible for the insecticide soaked clothes that
were supplied to shops in areas that harboured terrorists. Word on the dusty
bushpath also atrributes him with the development of the transistor radio
that exploded when tuned to Radio Freedom, and Depo Provera contraceptive
laced headache pills. I believe that he also introduced the penis mutilation
interrogation technique that is now used with such devastating effect on
current day Zimbabwean dissidents. Other urban legends also say that this
method was used on Bob the Gob, resulting in permanent damage and this is
why he became such a nutcase. (Others say it is the clap)

The cause of the removal of one testicle was syphilis. I was told that the
surgeon - not interrogator - who performed the op left the country as soon
as it became obvious that Mugabe was going to hold the reins. Mugabe's
performance, in office, over the years would certainly indicate that the
syphilis had a latent effect

Latent?? Latent means 'secret, hidden', I don't think that the effects
on Uncle Bob have been very hidden or secret, it's been obvious that
he's barking for ages.

They have found that he is a closet Yorkshireman - when you spell his name
backwards it is e -ba - gum.

Just for interest sake do any of the subscribers have an endgame scenario on
Bob? When do you think he will terminate? Who will succeed him? Will Zanu PF
ba able to sustain his iron rule?

The interviews with Kevin Woods that are available elsewhere on the net
would indicate something like this. Naturally Kevin's circumstances meant
that he could not be too specific.
