Hughes, A J (Tony) : East Africa: The Search for Unity - Kenya, Tanganyka, Uganda and Zanzibar

UK: Penguin Books, 1963

First edition, paperback, very good unread condition, uncreased illustrated glossy card covers, internally clean and tight but lightly browned throughout, 278 pages including index, 2 b/w maps-----"For two generations the climate, scenery, and sporting life of Kenya have attracted a stream of wealthy white settlers - pioneers who peopled the White Highlands, planted new crops, opened mines, helped to officer the King's African Rifles, and silently to their surprise generated the native opposition which culminated a few years ago in the Mau Mau insurrection. Today we see Kenya committed to the principle of federation with Tanganyika, Uganda, and Zanzibar - neighbours with very different histories. Such an imaginative experiment could have the profoundest consequences for the whole of Africa. Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesia might be drawn into the orbit of such a force, which could well set the political style for the rest of the continent.' Book is in as new condition thoughout but pages are lightly browned.
