Gold Cufflinks: Tales on my watch as an expatriate

This autobiographical sketch is about a young man who chose to leave the UK only to be swept up in the challenges presented by the winds of change which blew through Africa and the Caribbean after the break-up of Empire. Swain shares his fascinating, yet at times both serious and light-hearted account of post-colonial life and his adven-tures when working in Zambia and St Lucia at the end of the sixties. A daring first book, full of surprises, set in the context of recent history and full of facts, some little known. This is a study of the good, the incompetent, villainy, hope, love and friendship.
