Beating About the Bush; Tales from Tanganyika is the second instalment in David Read's remarkable life story. From 1936 to 1952, Read navigated his early schooling, transitioned into adulthood, and found himself caught up in World War II as he led a regiment of Masai and Samburu warriors across Africa.
After the war, Read pursued various careers, including veterinary work, which allowed him to draw on his childhood experiences exploring the African bush. He went on to become a farmer, cattle dealer, hunter, aviator, fisherman, boat builder, and author, showcasing his unique range of skills. Throughout his life, Africa remained his true home.
Read's journey comes full circle in this book, which chronicles his adventures from the 1930s to the early years of independence for Tanganyika. A fascinating account of one man's life, Beating About the Bush offers a glimpse into a bygone era and the enduring power of human connection.
