Intro 'mad Mike' Hoare

[Chris Hoare]

Greetings, Members. My name is Chris Hoare. I am the son and biographer of the famous 'Mad Mike' Hoare who became world famous when he led his Wild Geese to put down a rebellion in the Congo in 1964/5, and world infamous when he and his 'Frothblowers' tried to overthrow the government of the Seychelles in 1981, and failed; he later spent time in jail. Mike had served in the British Army during World War 2, both in England and out in India (Kohima) and in Burma; he was demobbed as major at the age of 26.
I am negotiating with a publisher at the moment, and the book could be out in about a year.
Mike is doing well for his 98 years.
