Monty Don On His Father's PTSD & Violence

In this excerpt from the Rosebud Podcast, Monty Don tells Gyles Brandreth about his father Dennis — an army heavyweight boxing champion who served in the Commandos and survived Dunkirk, but came home from the war a profoundly damaged man. Monty recalls growing up in the shadow of his father's violence and depression, the moment his mother sent him to remove the bolt from a gun, and the only time his father ever came to watch him do anything.

A portrait of a complicated, unknowable man — and the son who spent a lifetime trying to reach him.
