Description

Twentieth Century Men is a family saga that traces the lives of the Wilson family starting in 1888 and continuing through three generations of Wilsons until 2006. It describes how the men survived two World Wars in which they served their country gallantly and how they prospered in business as well as excelling in sporting activities. Dick, the eldest son, was involved in actions taken to quell the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya where he participated in the vital intelligence work that led to the early capture of the main instigators. He was also involved in organising the visit of the Queen Mother before continuing his service in Borneo, Zambia and South Africa.
