My Road from Saigon by Brian Staley

My Road from Saigon by Brian Staley

Personal revelations include: * The Vietnam War and Peace Talks * Jeremy Thorpe and the criminal cover up * Campaign for Gurkha justice and Peace Foundation * Joanna Lumley said: 'This book sets out the extraordinary life experiences of a man who is so modest. And those experiences and achievements are truly splendid in their breadth and depth. In his early life, they range from flying as a reporter on a combat mission over Vietnam and being blown out of bed by a rocket to playing a key role in the eventual peace process in that beautiful country. And later in life through to helping our Gurkha heroes and dedicating his life to national and community politics. This is both a testament to a remarkable life and an inspiration to the reader.' * 'I read the book from start to finish in a day, and found it absolutely fascinating.' - Dr Seth Thevoz of Oxford University.
