Jim ManionThe Lunatic Express
Amazing book by Charles Miller. The backdrop of the book is the railway to Uganda. This book relies heavily on the journals of hunters. Baker, Boyes, Foran, et al.
A detailed history of Southern Africa. The race to colonize to the race to abolish slavery. Both World Wars from the African perspective.
From a historical view, about the best reference out there. A long read. But worth it!
