John talks about growing up in Colonial Africa, the Rhodesian Bush War and what it's like to lose your country.
Background
in the 1960's Rhodesia was a prosperous country, with high employment, a strong currency and little crime. Ten years later and it was all gone. By 1980, Rhodesia had vanished off the map. History is a demanding teacher and the lesson is that things can fall apart quickly, regardless of what country you call home.
