The Free Diary of Albie Sachs
Softcover
In this book Albie Sachs and his life partner Vanessa September take us with them to his places of former exile. In London and St Petersburg and Helsinki we meet those who they met, and see the sights and sounds they experienced on what is often an intimate journey that celebrates freedom, love and happiness. Their encounters range from former IRA and loyalist prisoners in Belfast to President Putin in Moscow and couples wheeling prams on the roof of the Reichstag in Berlin.

Trekking on: In the Company of Brave Men
A riveting memoir of the Great War from a uniquely African perspective. The author helped suppress a rebellion in South Africa, defeat German West Africa, fight in German East Africa, and fight in France, where he commanded a Scottish battalion at the end of the war. King George V told the author in later years that he kept this book at his bedside in Windsor Castle.
