Wake Me in the Morning

by Giles Walker, Bryan Demchinsky (Editor), Correy Baldwin (Editor)

“You’re for the high jump. Wake me in the morning—six o’clock.”

"Wake Me in the Morning" is a story of 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.
