Making Things Happen is titled to reflect changes in affairs both national and international, whether for better or worse as judged by the author at different times and places with limitless activity and imagination. Born in 1930 on the outskirts of Manchester and following military service in the Middle East, he proceeded to Caius College., Cambridge where he read history and economics and played an active role in international politics. Apart from brief spells at Westminster, the author spent most of his early career in Africa establishing tea development in Kenya making it the world's largest tea exporter and later in senior positions at the World Bank in Washington DC. Subsequently in retirement he was appointed Bursar of Wolfson College, Oxford. Religion provided a continuing background to a life of immense variety which he and his wife Judith shared to the full.
