“What a WONDERFUL book. Don't think it is just about the war against the terrorists in Rhodesia; its much much more than that. Its a book of memories of growing up and becoming a man in Africa. A white man yes but still a man in Africa with all that goes with that. With "turns" that were not expected and with tears in my eyes as I finished the book, I without reservation recommend this book to those who have lived in sub-Saharan Africa. I humbly suggest that those who have not lived in Africa will not understand or appreciate what the author has written...”

“I'm black and was born in post-independence Zimbabwe. Though not a precisely politically correct treatise, I found this book a very interesting and engaging read. Well written and coherent, this book will take you on a journey from colonial Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia) through the intermediate Zimbabwe-Rhodesia period to the latter day Zimbabwean political/economic meltdown albeit through white Zimbabwean (Rhodesian) eyes. A highly engrossing tale written from the heart of someone who certainly has an emotional attachment to Africa.”

“I downloaded your book on my Kindle and am almost half way through. Enjoying it immensely. I worked for a few months in Bulawayo back in the mid 60's. Your descriptions of Rhodesian life are spot on!”

“A great book about a period of history I knew little about. While not "politically correct" it is a heartrending tale of a man caught on the wrong side of history. It artfully combines a sumation of a politcal debate and a war memoir wrapped in the form of a novel. I would recommend this to anyone willing to give this the time and thought it deserves. ”

“Currently reading 'Tokolosh' on my Kindle....so far one of the better 'fictional' books of the Rhodesian conflict......”

“Conrad K's book, In the Shadow of the Tokolosh, is a painful reminder of how it all began. How the hopes and dreams of a small country were dashed on the alter of expediency and, at the time, political correctness. The story is a skillful blend of fact and, presumably, fiction; though the descriptions of the bush war are indeed very realistic...”

“Just finished reading this book, for someone who grew up during this time, it brought back a lot of memories. The writing keeps you interested the whole way through. It was a fantastic read, loved every word. It's one of those books that you can't stop turning the pages and yet you're really sad when you get to the end so fast.... damn! should have made it last a little longer!!”
