From the Foreword
" Adeyinka Makinde, in writing this book, has excavated the knowledge and the story of a hero, Dick Tiger: made his life a historical indelibility, and set the course for others to travel. The author's patient tenacity in researching facts is patently evident in every page of the book"
Dr. Paddy Davies
From the Introduction
"Richard Ihetu deserves a golden legacy and with this book, a labour of love by Adeyinka Makinde, a fitting tribute is now with us."
Ron Lipton
