Produktbeschreibung

SEX, MAYHEM AND A GOOD LAUGH, now that I have your attention my work is autobiographical and contains three segments but not necessarily in equal proportion. As a fully paid up member of the Baby Boomer generation SEX was a learn as you go effort, mainly through on the job experience, MAYHEM abounded in many life experiences and a GOOD LAUGH happened; generally, at my expense.

As a combat Infantry soldier in the Vietnam War the MAYHEM was hard throttled at a more graphic and less pleasant level. I have included a confronting photo of wounded enemy soldier. SEX was in abundance and massively accessible in the flesh spots of Saigon and as a young. virile and desperate Soldier along with many others wanted to get my fill before combat events overtook this ambition. I would add that against a background of life and death events there were some circumstances which lent themselves to a GOOD LAUGH.

On discharge from the Army (1970) I joined Queensland's finest and became a sworn member of the Queensland Police Service. Policing in that era was thoroughly steeped in graft and corrupt practices. Unfortunately, SEX didn't feature prominently, but huge amounts of MAYHEM were and generated by the Police themselves and some funny things happened which gave rises to a GOOD LAUGH. As a newly minted Constable of Police corrupt practices were constantly in your face, readily available, no questions asked. Most took advantage of the situation but that stopped dead in its tracks by a thorough and comprehensive inquiry which managed to turn the moral compass in the proper direction.

Autorenporträt

Chris Manktelow was born into the ranks of the Baby Boomer generation and grew up in Sydney Australia. His childhood experiences differed greatly from recent generations and was interesting active and fun, most of the time.
He joined the Australian Army and served as an Infantry Soldier in the Vietnam War. Active service was deadly and dangerous, but lived to tell the tale. He was wounded along with many other Australian Soldiers who experienced soldiering in the Vietnam conflict. Strong bonds were forged with many men he served with both within a peace and war setting. Even though the circumstances were dangerous and difficult there were bursts of humour within the chaos.
On discharge from the Army he joined the Queensland Police Force which was steeped in graft and corrupt practises. Again, humorous events prevailed, even in this unpalatable environment.
He attended Uni and credentialed as a Psychologist managing a Counselling support service for Vietnam Veterans. He has worked privately and in Government Agencies particularly in the area of acute mental health
Retired and enjoying life in Romsey Victoria, with his wife Lis of 35 years and adores and dotes on his Son and Grandson.
He is physically and mentally active and is addicted to golf which he plays badly. His wife is a better golfer than him and believes this could be good grounds for divorce. Needless to say, Lis is unconcerned about this Hollow threat.
