Under Two Flags in Africa by George Winstanley. S/C. 254 pp. 1st 2000

First edition 2000, published by Blackwater Books. Softcover and inside pages in a very good condition. With several black and white photographs and a sketch map of Botswana.

No heavy history book this! These recollections of a British administrator in Bechuanaland and Botswana from 1954 to 1972 are a delightful anecdote-driven exposition of life in the colonial service. Light, descriptive, irreverent writing and evocative images takes the reader along on the journey in which the old order disappeared and the new emerged.
