Two English Colonial Police Officers were engaged in a lethal war fighting Communist Terrorists in the Malay Emergency when they decided to make an overland journey from Singapore to England. One year later, in February 1958, they purchased an ex-army Willy’s Jeep from a local scrap yard and set out for England. This book reflects their true spirit of adventure with no mobile phones, no G.P.S., no sponsorship, and limited maps.

Recensione:
Roy Follows volunteered to join the Malay Police in 1952 at the height of the ‘Malay Emergency.’ He was just 22, didn’t speak Malay, and had no experience of jungle Warfare. His ability to learn quickly concluded with a posing as fort commander where in pursuit of the terrorist trail, he won over the hearts and minds of the Temiar Senoir, Malay aborigines.
Despite being told such a trip would be impossible, Noel Dudgeon and Roy Follows acquired and modified an old Willly's Jeep before embarking on a 13,000-mile adventure; this is their tale - a detailed account of a remarkable journey through a different world. --Lord Steel of Aikwood [David Steel] Hon. President Hero Club [Historic Endurance Rally Organisation]
