This has been the life and times of Tom Edwards, a boy raised during the greatest depression then known to England. He relates his memories of the second Great War, of his experiences joining the Royal Navy as an apprentice, and of his time in many parts of Africa. Tom recalls his experiences in an anti-terrorist unit, of sailing around the world in a 30-foot boat and being chased by pirates off the coast of Columbia, and then being wrecked off the coast of New Zealand in a hurricane. Throughout the autobiography Tom, Tom Edwards has maintained a sense of humour and tells things as he remembers them. No autobiography is completely true, but it is as near the truth as circumspection allows. If Tom's recall of events and dates fail in some areas, you must forgive him, as an eighty-two-year-old mind has its limitations. Tom can recall Edward the Eighth's abdication speech verbatim and his mother's co-op number from seventy years ago, but events chronologically closer often elude him.
