FUCK FUCK FUCK Damn...… Was the author of 'The End of the Game', one of my few favourite books ever. EVER. Is about the building of the railroad in Kenya along the Tsavo River. But it's about so much more than that. Humanity meeting wildlife, first world meeting third world. Etc etc. Book was a gift...I was maybe 20....I was fascinated with the photos and story and …. goddammit now Peter Beard's gone. May we all continue to view the African continent and it's denizens as Peter Beard did. RIP SirC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Webb was the younger brother of Gareth Peirce - the lawyer who represented the Guildford Four and was portrayed by Emma Thompson on film in In The Name Of The Father - who is still very much alive and obitable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
