Three Sides Out, One Way Home (Malaya 1956-58)

£12.98

Description

by Dominique Allen

The story of three Englishmen during the Malayan Emergency, each with very different priorities: one of them had been sent there, one thought he ought to be there and one of them really should have known better!

From building an airfield in the jungle to re-opening the mission house, from dump trucks to chicken soup; they’d be working with trackers, traders, head-hunters and river-pirates. There were plenty of ways of getting home, but for one of their number only one way to do it ‘right’ … and it was going to take ALL three of them going off the rails to get it done.
