"Mrs. Queen's Chump: Idi Amin, the Mau Mau, Communists and Other Silly Follies of the British Empire"
by J. J. Hespeler-Boultbee
Mrs. Queenâs Chump is the military memoir of a young man who, naively acquiescing to a period of âadventureâ after leaving boarding school, soon found himself enmeshed in the agonies of subjugated peoples caught in the turmoil of a collapsing British Empire and demanding restoration of their dignity and rightful human freedoms. Left to deal as best he could with his own transition from boy to man â somewhat before PTSD became a recognizable quantity â he realized as a born Canadian citizen he might easily have avoided service in Britainâs army â but he had committed himself, so entered with his eyes open and became a keen observer.
