Wow. I hope parents and teenagers learn from the life of this man. I'm glad that he wrote this book. Books such as this shed light on African history which have now come to be known to have been hidden over the years.

An interesting autobiography "Dancing on Bones" by Ross Gordon, which recounts the author's childhood up until his adulthood in Zimbabwe, formerly known as Rhodesia. The book appears interesting to me to learn about Zimbabwe. This is definitely a book for history fanatics. Congrats on BOTD

I would like to read about Ross Gordon and how he fought the challenges involving his country and local communities
as he gets older as Zimbabwe is a nearby country it will be a motivation for me.

For sure, this book has added to some historical information about Zimbabwe. I liked how open the author was, especially in highlighting such events as wars in Zimbabwe, and how they affected him and his efforts to put up a good fight protecting his homeland. Also, it is good the book was professionally edited, as this will help ensure a smooth reading it.
