In 1936, at the age of 18, Peter Mills, son of a Norfolk doctor,
went in search of adventure. He sailed for Kenya, then sparsely
populated, teeming with game, and almost untouched by civilization.
He set out to hunt and explore but funds ran out and he had to find
an income to avoid repatriation. In a remote police station he
spoke to the Inspector in charge. An hour later, he joined the
prestigious Kenya Police. His romantic exploits, gun battles with
wild tribesmen, cattle rustlers and criminals, encounters with
dangerous animals and eccentric settlers are a hair-raising and
often hilarious adventure. Eventually, as a high-ranking officer he
played a crucial role in the war against the Mau Mau. This is a
thrilling story of the last days of Empire and one mana s account
of his exploits in a beautiful, untamed land peopled by eccentric
settlers and primitive tribes people. A story of the courage and
tenacity of one rugged individualist and his part in bringing
civilization to that land.
