C. W. "Duke" Acheson was an American Foreign Correspondent during the War in the Middle East, and thereafter travelled throughout Africa interviewing heads of state and other fascinating people.  He captures the essence of daily life and describes his personal experiences settling in Rhodesia with a young family "learning to be a farmer" in the wonderful years of the fifties and sixites when the country was at it's best!  Often hilarious and moving with an informative account of the political situation of that era in southern Africa and the changes yet to come.  Black and white photographs depict the life and times 'he' talks about.
