As the world bumbles through the SECOND Cold War, this fast-paced black-comedy reveals how the FIRST Cold War really ended – not in a barrage of A-bombs in the US or USSR, but in shots of vodka in a colonial-era German fortress in southern Africa. Creatively weaving little known facts with first-hand experience and intuitive hindsight "Last Shots of the First Cold War" is a rollicking, rambunctious ramble across the genres of historical novel and narrative non-fiction which breaks the mould of books regurgitating mind-numbing minutia of which leader lied about what on the international stage, and instead gets down to the nitty-gritty of what really happened on the ground - because as world leaders discovered near the end of the first cold war, its what happens on the ground that finally decides the result of any conflict.
As the last battle of the first Cold War rages outside the fortress walls, inside its musical beds, flying fists and spy vs spy.
At the centre of the chaos and confusion, hard-drinking, war correspondent Sam Morgan strives to sift fact from fiction while matching wits with South African security police and an African war-lord, all while swapping passionate embraces with beautiful communist activist Janet Matthews, a green-eyed arch manipulator of men who is determined that the cold war – and Sam - will both fall her way.
