Daniel Cunningham - murderer and decorated war hero. Never the son his father wanted, top marksman and author of a thesis on the art of war, Danny is posted to military Intelligence during the Rhodesian War. As he struggles with the realities of bush warfare he shoots down his commanding officer in cold blood and takes charge of the platoon. Three days of bloody bush warfare follow before he sees his only way out - he calls an air strike on himself and his men...

Ironically only Danny survives and the army now needs an explanation. Intelligence concocts a story, and Danny is decorated as a war hero. But there is Danny's diary - and his father has it. While his father struggles to come to terms with his relationship with his son, Danny tries to blackmail his way out of the army.

First Born is not only a good war story, it twists and weaves as young Daniel comes to grips with morality, "military efficiency" and survival in the Rhodesian Bush.
