- Synopsis
-
William "Bill" Jacobs never backed down from adventure anywhere he found it. This book contains his personal record of some of the highlights of his life. It starts with his time in the British Parachute Regiment, then the bulk of the story tells of his two contracts, in 1966 and 1967, as a "mercenary" in the Congo where he was commissioned as a Lieutenant on his second contract. The book also includes a few anecdotes of such as his short-lived career as a crocodile hunter and some other vignettes.
No sensibilities are spared in his telling of the story. The style is clearly one of recollection as he consulted his diary lf the events, so much of the content has a sense of rawness and immediacy with reinforces the reality of this being a real story and not a made-for-Hollywood story.
