      Un libro muy interesante, donde se relata con mucha sinceridad los momentos tristes vividos en una guerra olvidada por el mundo entero en aquellos momentos en Rodhesia.... Muy bellos los momentos donde el autor te lleva a traves de la narraciòn a respirar la
      màgica atmosfera africana con sus bellezas y sus encantos, como asì tambièn sus peligros de una naturaleza salvaje, contorneada por anècdotas simpàticas.
