Glimpses of Empire: A Corona Anthology
Book information
Description
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.
