Publisher's Synopsis
"He writes a fascinating account of those distant times." - BOOKLIST John Ainley was twenty-three when he went out to Tanganyika (Tanzania) as a Government Agricultural Field Officer in 1949, in an age when Britain still had African colonies. Here he writes a fascinating account of those distant times. Whether he is describing Africa's unlimited horizons, its people, or life without telephones, radio or television, he seems to have a special feeling for that immense country.
