This is a story of Africa at its most cruel and tender moments. It
is a story of violence set against the breathtaking beauty of
Nyanga; that is not its real name, but those who were there will
know the location. If I Should Die is not about black against
white, but of resistance to change and the righting of past wrongs.
It is about a war men know they cannot win, but fight anyway,
because it's their job. The fight becomes personalized between two
combatants who represent the best each side has to offer. Sergeant
Wilson is severely wounded and taken away for interrogation. When
the injured man's fiance tries to find him, she must make tough
decisions in the name of love. Although this action-packed story
set in Africa is fiction, most of it did happen. Author Tom Edwards
was born in Hampshire, England. He served six years in the Fleet
Air Arm branch of the Royal Navy. He then worked several years as
an artist before moving to Southern Africa, where he was a
freelance newspaper reporter and then a mining engineer in South
Africa, Zambia and Namibia, finally settling in what was then
Rhodesia. During the Rhodesian conflict, he joined the reserve
branch of the security forces, serving on border patrol.
