Are you single, married . . . or from the colonies? In Three Sips of Gin the author gives a fascinating and hilarious insight into the decadent lifestyle that prevailed in East Africa during his childhood. As a young boy, Tim takes us on an incredible adventure of growing up in an isolated and often hostile African landscape. He takes us into the realm of the remote boarding school where status amongst schoolboys was determined not by achievements within the classroom, but by more notable deeds worthy of schoolboy lore. As a young adolescent and teen, Tim takes us on a remarkable journey away from Africa. A short time later we return with him to an African continent at war with itself. We accompany him as a young officer with the Rhodesian Army into the exclusivity, glamour and frivolity of the Officers Mess. Then with Tim as a member of the famed Selous Scouts, we follow him into the silence of the shadows to share in the lighter, yet sometimes painful moments of an insurgency fought in the stark and unforgiving harshness of the African bush. Here you will find the significance of three sips of gin finally revealed. Later with Tim having left the army, we accompany him as he stumbles his way through the intrigues, excesses and scandals of the boardroom of a large multi-national company based in South Africa. But above all, we share with Tim in the laughter, candor, wit and self-deprecating humour of an adventurous journey few could ever have experienced.
