GRAHAM FYSH WORKED for 20 years as a journalist and political columnist for major South African publications during the time of apartheid, which he vigorously opposed, before moving to the United States and working at Seattle-area newspapers for 15 years where he served as a business editor, writer and investment columnist.He has a master's degree in journalism, with honors, from Columbia University in the City of New York, where he received an award for being judged the best foreign student in his class, and a master's degree in communications from the University of Washington. He taught journalism for two years at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.His latest book, "Sent to kill" (an updated and illustrated version of his book MOOROSI, published in 2012) tells of a war between the Cape Colony and King Moorosi, leader of the Baphuthi people, in 1879. The true story is a case study in colonialism and how cultural conflict can lead to war, reflecting Fysh's lifelong study of South African history, international politics, and the role of culture in conflict. It also reflects a lifelong interest in the history of Lesotho, a country he came to know and love on many visits, starting in 1961. The result of seven years of research, the true story contains profound meaning for many areas of today's world in which the underlying tensions are remarkably similar.In addition to "Sent to kill" Fysh is the author of: "How Small Business Owners Succeed and how you can, too," and "How to turn dotCom into dotCash." He and his wife live in the Seattle area. They have three children and seven grandchildren.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
