From a relative of a main character ,Stan Donaldson

I have not read the book, but have been trying to locate a copy. One of the main characters, Stan Donaldson, was my paternal Uncle. This book is not a work of fiction. For those who have read the book, my Uncle Stan remained in Singapore and Malaysia for the rest of his life. He married, although he had no children. He became a racehorse jockey, and upon retiring, went on to manage a "racehorse spelling staion," a kind of rest home for race horses. Uncle Stan died in Malaysia in the mid-1990's in a car accident; while his driver was negotiating down the mountain the brakes failed. Stan was in perfect health until then...Sir Laurens van der Post and Stan remained in touch through the years up until Stans death, visiting Sir Laurens whenever Stan went back to England. For the record, Stan Donaldson was not a Scot as the book says, but an Englishman.
