Books by Ray Dafter

Ray Dafter lives in Kent and has been fortunate enough to spend almost 60 years writing about subjects that fascinated him. He started out writing for a West Country newspaper, which then led to an appointment at the Financial Times as a specialist writer. It was not long before Ray was given the challenge of covering another high-profile sector, the energy industry, at a time when the North Sea oil industry was beginning to flourish. He was not only appointed Energy Editor but awarded a fellowship at Harvard University's Center for International Affairs. For over 25 years Ray has been a Trustee of the Young People's Trust for the Environment. A chance stroll around the National Portrait Gallery in London led him to a portrait of Ayuba. He was determined to find out more about his story and this book is the result.
