Tommy Goes Home – Peter Stiff (Signed by Dr M Forster)

R240.00

“Take Manfred Forster, a tough German Doctor of Geology, his wife Karin, their teenage sons Frank and Uwe and their eight-year-old daughter Gabriella. Toss them together with dogs, parrots, assorted livestock and a half grown lion called Tommy into a Land-Rover with 100,000 km on the clock and convoy it with a beaten up old Volksie. Send them overland from Germany, through Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, Angola, Zambia and Botswana to the then Rhodesia. This was just as Portugal erupted into military and civil rebellion and Angola was being wrenched apart by tribal and Marxist armies, scrambling for the spoils of their late Colonial master. This then is the essence of Peter Stiff’s book.”
