He was elected a Domus Scholar at Oxford's Balliol College, where he read modern history. After spending time in Africa, he earned his doctorate at Oxford in 1964. (San Francisco Chronicle) His well-regarded scholarly work covered a wide range of topics, including German history, colonialism in Africa, military affairs, guerrilla warfare, race relations, the history of Hispanics in the United States and comparative studies in Japanese- European colonialism. During the course of his prolific academic career, Gann wrote or edited 38 books and academic monographs, mainly on the subject of African history and political science as well as European and U.S history. He produced a number of important works in collaboration with Peter Duignan (Wikipedia). At the time of writing the 'History of Souther Rhodesia' the author was a Research Associate at the Hoover Institution at Standard University. He would spend more than 30 years at the Hoover Institution, having previously been on the staff of the National Archives in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Haare, Zimbabwe). The author also wrote the companion volume 'History of Northern Rhodesia." Of miscellaneous interest is a cutting from The Daily Telegraph dated 2 October 1978 found within the book. Contains article entitled "Rhodesia: the humbug and the tragedy" by Colin Welch.
