This is the biography of a man who spent almost his entire working life in sub-Saharan Africa and South and East Asia.
Mike Lord was born in London within the sound of Bow Bells, just as the WW2 was about to explode. He was evacuated to the country as a small boy and then was brought up in Berkshire. His family moved to various places, including three years in Singapore from 1948, which involved the Maria Hertzog riots, and a family holiday in Hong Kong, all of which had a curious effect on his later life. Mike now lives and works in Vietnam. His work in Asia included some hot-spots like the Swat valley in Pakistan, and Sri Lanka during the war against the LTTE! Mike’s last project in Vietnam was concerned with Climate Change, but now he has retired and is even busier writing and publishing books!
