This valuable and fascinating collection of almost 150 photographs illustrates 400 years of the British association with West Africa. A brief introduction traces the history of colonization, from the early trading pioneers and missionaries to the 1960s and independence, with the last thirty years of the colonial period brought to life by the author's personal reminiscences. The pictorial section of the book explores different aspects of the historical and social development of the colonies.
