Philip Zeid writes about his unusual life experiences. His story starts with his experiences during the bombing of England by the Germans at the beginning of World War II, followed by his volunteering as a pilot in the RAF and his training in America, which, at the time, was not at war. He eventually transferred to gliders and served in the Burma Campaign.
After the war and because of the partition riots in India, his ambition to be a tea planter there ended in him becoming a rubber planter in Malaya where he experienced ten years of the Emergency both as a bachelor and later with his wife and family. He also introduced several innovative procedures into his work.
He experienced many unusual incidents in a variety of countries and places, which include America, Mexico, India, Burma, Thailand (Siam), Vietnam, Hong Kong, the Himalayas, and several other interesting places.
He also provides an insight into how you can never tell which eventssmall or large, close or farcan influence our future lives. In this book, he shows how taking up radio as a hobby, how refusing to wear glasses as a child, how the partition riots in India, how being in debt on his first leave from Malaya, and how many other such incidents could have a profound effect on his life.
