Description
John Hammond was one of Rhodesia’s great educators. Across four decades and in the face of hardship, misunderstanding and opposition he strove to educate and train a generation of boys and girls to lead a modern African nation in the post-colonial era that he saw coming, and traces his heartbreak as he realised there would be insufficient time to do so as thoroughly as he would have liked. His story is also one of a great love, between John and his wife Nancy and of struggle through separation, war, disease and natural disaster
