Most Octogenarians have a good story to tell about their long lives. In the case of Arnold Awoonor-Gordon, he was particularly lucky and privaleged to have made a good start in Sierra Leone the country of his birth and childhood and to have then branched out into the world.
His time in London as a student and working at BBC Bush House as a broadcaster provided the amazing bedrock to a full life that took him across Asia, Europe, and indeed West Africa.
As a journalist and communicator the reflections on his life have been well presented in an easy style that makes for interesting and informative reading.
Those of his peers and friends who repeatedly urged him to write his memoirs have been keenly rewarded in this fascinating book full of lights and shades and most memorable experiences.
It is a commendable autobiography in every respect.
