My African Journey

By Winston Churchill

Categories: Biographies & Memoirs, History

In 1907, as a junior minister at the Colonial Office, Winston Churchill traveled through British East Africa and Uganda to the source of the Nile, and this book, first published in 1908, is his account of the trip. He writes about the Uganda Railway, big-game hunting, the landscape and people of the region, and his views on how Britain should govern and develop its colonies there.
