Compiled from personal letters, interviews with Tom's wife Rene and recorded interviews, this book captures the remarkable and largely unknown efforts by Tom Atkinson to help Indonesia gain independence from the Dutch and to become established as a new country, while also allowing for a glimpse into his personal life, his thoughts and his feelings.
Luath Press takes its name from Robert Burns, whose little collie Luath (Gael., swift or nimble) tripped up Jean Armour at a wedding and gave him the chance to speak to the woman who was to be his wife and the abiding love of his life. Burns called one of The Twa Dogs Luath after Cuchullin's hunting dog in Ossian's Fingal . Luath Press was established in 1981 in the heart of Burns country, and is now based a few steps up the road from Burns' first lodgings on Edinburgh's Royal Mile. Luath offers you distinctive writing with a hint of unexpected pleasures.
