Publisher's Synopsis
From humble beginnings as a 'barefoot boy' in a small town in the heart of South Africa, he learned to mix with presidents and prime ministers, with royalty and popes, and quickly embraced the high-life of the jet-set who surrounded him. Throughout life, he was a serial womanizer, bedding famous European film stars (and their secretaries). He survived three tempestuous marriages and divorces, each wife becoming younger than the last until their age difference reached 40 years. This scientifically-trained surgeon called on the services of a 'witchdoctor' (a sangoma) - unsuccessfully - to help punish those who had contributed to the break-up of his second marriage.
