The African Colony - John Buchan - Bog

Author and diplomat John Buchan lived a remarkable life, achieving prominence and success in a number of fields-often simultaneously. Soon after embarking on an administrative career in Africa, Buchan began writing fiction and non-fiction, endeavors he would continue throughout his life, even after he was elected to Parliament. The essays and remembrances collected in The African Colony cover the time Buchan spent there and his impressions of Britain's mission and future role on that continent.
