Dodging Cows: One man’s journey from carefree childhood to lazy student to conscripted soldier to passionate farmer, buffeted by the fault lines in South Africa’s history Kindle Edition

Very good feel for the balance in South Africa at the time. For non South Africans, the description is accurate and story beautiful leaving a sense of hope for a beautiful country in the future.

An insightful snapshot of the challenges faced by individuals and communities living side by side, the struggles of integration, and chaos caused by those whose agendas are uncompromising, fearful, heartless and ruthless. Meekness alone is not enough.

I loved reading this book. I could not put it down. Its an incredible insight into life in rural South Africa. I reckon this book will give any Wilbur Smith or Bryce Courtney novel a run for its money.

I could taste and smell the realities of that time. This is a very real account of the complexities of our time in rural South Africa. Well done to the author.

The most exciting book I have ever read - the book has consumed my thoughts since picking it up -

I read part of this book and didn't finish since I didn't think it was worth reading.

This book brought back a lot of memories good ones as well as very sad ones of losing friends on the border. Good memories of growing up in a farmers comunity who looked out for one another black and white together . My best friend, a Zulu girl (Alsina) whom I last saw 40 years ago but still think of her often and praying that she's ok and living a happy life.Well done Paul Meade and God bless South Africa.

Excellent book. Well written. Captures your attention until the end. Excellent history on South Africa during the apartheid era and wars South Africa participated in. The main character reminds one of Sean Courtney from the Wilbur Smith books.A recommended read.Dale Darling
