Much more than a record of an extraordinary military career, the life
story of Colonel Sir Hugh Boustead details how he spent the greater part
of his life in service to undeveloped countries. In addition to serving
in wars in Sudan and Ethiopia, Colonel Boustead worked for many years to
establish tribal peace, build schools and medical facilities, and train
future leaders in the Western Sudan, Southern Arabia, and Abu Dhabi. All
of these adventures are delightfully recounted in this memoir of a
military man, a deserter, a boxing champion, and an explorer.
