European settlers in colonial Africa did not have an easy time, depending on what they came with. Theirs’ was a life of adventure, hardship, homesickness, disease and sometimes, war.

The title is Two Suitcases because that is what most Europeans arrived in Africa with, and subsequently left with. From Rhodesia’s Unilateral Declaration of Independence to the birth of Mugabe’s Zimbabwe, Two Suitcases - Part Two; The Leap into Uncertainty, Book Two of this compelling trilogy, continues with the tales and experiences of the Krugers and Morgans during Rhodesia’s UDI years, which were filled with incredible pride, happiness, sadness and tragedy. Maybe too much pride. Sanctions-busting became acknowledged business practice while the vicious Bush War became a way of life affecting everyone, from the soldier in uniform to the farmer’s wife fighting off a night time homestead attack. Rhodesians were proud to be Rhodesians.

For the first time the unglamorous, but vital, part the District Commissioners and their staff played in the Bush War is told.

The Two Suitcases trilogy has been inspired by authors such as Wilbur Smith, James Mitchener and Stuart Cloete.

Have you read Two Suitcases – Part One, Colonialism Crumbles, covering Rhodesia’s birth from the Boer War to UDI? Watch out for Two Suitcases - Part Three, Descent into Darkness, covering the birth of Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe to the present day.
