Glimpses of Empire

In this unique collection of writings culled from the Corona Club Bulletin we see the governor in council and the DO in the field and a myriad of professional officers--agricultural educational medical veterinary engineering nursing--at work. The contributions range from the political constitutional and the daily round of administration and service to personal family sporting and service life. The writings chosen and edited by Anthony Kirk-Greene a distinguished historian of Empire who also served in the Nigerian Service give vivid insight into a unique and vanished lifestyle.
