Abstract:
I am aware that this book won’t make pretty reading. I also realize that I tend to make light of violence and sudden death. The fact is, friends, those things are almost as common in your world as in mine. It is only that in the northern democracies, the law of the jungle less openly prevails. I have had to live and work by that law for so many years that I no longer bother to pretend that it doesn’t exist.
