I didn't see Robert Ruark in here. Has anybody read "Something of Value"? It is
set in Kenya during the uprising of the Mau Mau (sp?) Was also made into a movie starring
Rock Hudson.

Hi Anna - not many people remember him - got the book in my office, one of my first, African reads.
Good choice.

He wrote some other books as well but this was his best in my opinion.

Fewer and fewer writers on Africa - a tough subject to get right - age is a prerequisite. To quote WS; write only about what you know.
