The Wind Of Morning (1971) By Colonel Sir Hugh Boustead
 
Colonel Sir Hugh Boustead began his career by deserting as a midshipman from the Royal Navy in 1915 to see service with the South African Scottish in France, where he fought as a private soldier and junior officer from the Somme to the Armistice. Later service included the Sudan camel Corps and restoring the Emperor of Ethiopia to his throne during the Second World War.
 
Much more than a record of an extraordinary military career, the life story of Colonel Sir Hugh Boustead details how he spent the greater part of his life in service to undeveloped countries. In addition to serving in wars in Sudan and Ethiopia, Colonel Boustead worked for many years to establish tribal peace, build schools and medical facilities, and train future leaders in the Western Sudan, Southern Arabia, and Abu Dhabi. All of these adventures are delightfully recounted in this memoir of a military man, a deserter, a boxing champion, and an explorer.
