This is the autobiography of A. S. Mopeli-Paulus, author of the best-selling "Blanket Boy's Moon" and of its equally prestigious follow-up, "Turn to the Dark". Although substantial excerpts were published in "Drum" magazine at the time of composition in the mid-1950s, this is the first appearance of the complete text. Whether running away from school, serving in the 'Grave Unit' during the battle of El Alamein or proving an extraordinary leader through the early days of the anti-apartheid struggle, here is the testimony of a vibrant writer.
