Taking his title from the violent character played by Michael Caine  in Zulu, Birkenhead recounts growing up with an erratic, abusive father. More than just combative, Birkenhead père was also an anti-war activist and a popular economics professor. His cruel, contradictory behavior left deep scars on his family, and his son’s memoir is a harrowing look at memory, trauma, and healing.
