THE long-awaited book charting the later years of Sir Durward Knowles’ fascinating life, “Captain of Industry” has finally reached bookstores.

The fascinating sequel to his first book “Driven by the Stars”, follows Sir Durward through all the life-changing experiences, joys and sorrows, that have formed him into the man he is today.

Sir Durward is an undoubted Bahamian icon, one respected and admired by people in all walks of life, not just for the famous Olympic Gold Medal win, but for his unstinting support of those less fortunate in society.

The book chronicles his involvement with Rotary; his relationships with many major players in The Bahamas – past and present and his business adventures throughout the years. Through the pages, the reader comes to realise that he is indeed, in the words of a long-time friend – “a special, distinguished National Hero”.

The book, which is filled with colour and black and white photos is on sale for $25 for the paperback version, with the hardcover selling for $30.

For anyone wishing to have a signed copy, Sir Durward is holding a book signing at Montagu Gardens, on East Bay Street, Saturday, March 29, from 10am to 1pm and at Logos Bookstore in Harbour Bay on Saturday, April 5, from 11am to 1pm.
