Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rise of Our East African Empire, Vol. 2 of 2: Early Efforts in Nyasaland and Uganda
I am at a disadvantage in many ways. It is human nature that we all listen gladly when env one is abused or accused, but are impatient of any one praising himself. If to avoid this I refrain from Speaking of what I have done, I shall seem to be unable to rebut the accusations but if I enter upon an account of my actions and policy, I shall be compelled to speak repeatedly about myself.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a thrilling journey to Uganda in the late 19th century, a time when European influence was rapidly expanding across Africa. The author, a British military officer, provides a firsthand account of his experiences as he navigates a complex political landscape marked by religious rivalry, shifting alliances, and the ever-present threat of violence. Through the author's detailed observations, the reader is immersed in the intricate power dynamics between the Ugandan king, Mwanga, and the competing factions of Christian converts - the "English" and the "French" - as well as the powerful presence of the Muslim community. The author's arrival in Uganda coincides with a period of intense instability, fueled by religious divisions and the king's desire to consolidate his authority. The author's objective is to secure a treaty with Mwanga that would establish British influence in the region, a mission complicated by the competing ambitions of other European powers, particularly Germany. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of Uganda, a time when the forces of colonialism and religious conversion were clashing with traditional customs and beliefs. The author's insightful reflections on the nature of power, the complexities of intercultural relations, and the ethical dilemmas of imperial expansion provide a rich and thought-provoking commentary on the British Empire's role in Africa. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331666097_0
