Weidenfeld & Nicolson, publishers, New York - ISBN:1555840345, 1988. hardcover, 6¼" x 9½", with dust jacket. Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers, barcode etc. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket. This book offers a series of ebullient and evocative portraits of the "white tribe" in Africa: Westerners from General Gordon to Emin Pasha to Karen Blixen to the present crop of adventurers who have fallen under the spell of that inexhaustible continent. It presents an irreverent and original collection of characters, crises, and stories, amply demonstrating that the spirit of the great European adventurers of the past is present among the fly-boys, missionaries, and knock-abouts of today.
