Peter Rodes wrote a book "For a Shilling Day" which can be obtained on the Amazon.

On 22 July we were entertained by a most interesting speaker – Peter Rhodes whose career as a newspaper reporter spanned some 40 years, during which time he interviewed some of the leading figures both in this country and abroad. We were joined during the latter part of the evening by Rtn. Vivek Lahob and his wife Anna from The Rotary Club of Akurdi in Pune India, who showed great interest in our club.
