Description
Wake Me in the Morning – Giles Walker
“You’re for the high jump. Wake me in the morning—six o’clock.”
“Wake Me in the Morning” is a story of obsessions: The obsession of Harold Forster, who as a teacher and chaplain tormented and abused hundreds of school boys around the world. And the obsession of the author, himself a Forster victim.
Giles Walker has spent 30 years hunting down Forster to expose the secret life of a particular kind of monster and the damage he inflicted on young lives.
Walker’s personal engagement and the poignant recollections of the victims make “Wake Me in the Morning” a compelling read. Forster played the role of saint in his native England but in truth he was a cruel predator in the rest of the world.
