We were extremely lucky yesterday to be visited by the charismatic James Brabazon, UK author of My Friend the Mercenary. James is in Melbourne to promote his chilling first-hand account of the failed 2004 coup in Equatorial Guinea.
You can hear James speak about this and his friendship with one of Africa’s most notorious mercenaries at this weekend’s Crime and Justice Festival.
For a taste of what you can expect to hear, and what you can find in the book, watch this spine-tingling book trailer.
