about the author

Roderick Bethune has dual nationality, having been born in Argentina where his father was an oil company executive; he retains a strong affection for the country and its people. After national service as a Pilot Officer in the RAF, he returned to Argentina to sort out personal affairs and was conscripted as a private soldier in the army. This book draws on those experiences, following which he returned to the UK and spent several years in the packaging industry.
