Fuhrer for a Father

"I was written out of the family story. This book is my attempt to write myself, and my mother, back into it." In this singular memoir, historian and biographer Jim Davidson writes about his fraught relationship with his authoritarian and controlling father, whose South African background and time in Papua New Guinea and Fiji prompted his own post-war mini-empire of dominance.

"Am fost scrisa din povestea familiei. Aceasta carte este incercarea mea de a scrie eu si mama mea inapoi in ea." In acest memoriu singular, istoricul si biograful Jim Davidson scrie despre relatia sa plina cu tatal sau autoritar si controlor, al carui fond si timp din Africa de Sud in Papua Noua Guinee si Fiji i-au determinat propriul mini-imperiu de dominare postbelic.
