The Last Days of Empire and the Worlds of Business and Diplomacy: An Inside Account by Charles Cullimore
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 13.2 MB
Overview: A personal story, a colorful travelogue and an inside experience of politics and international relations, which includes a poignant ‘imperial’ sidelight with the discovery of his grandmother’s grave in India.
Charles Cullimore’s was a varied life from the end of the British Empire to high-level business and finally with major roles in post-imperial British policy. He rounded off a career appropriately by lecturing at the School of Oriental and African Studies in the University of London, underpinning academic study with his hands-on experience in international diplomacy.
The account is modest, graphic, full of incident, personality and anecdote, and face-to-face encounters with leading actors. After the ‘Devonshire course’ for entrants to the Colonial Service came appointment to Tanganyika and here is an intimate personal and ‘official’ account of district administration and the rise of TANU – Tanganyika African National Union – and decolonisation. The moving letter from Julius Nyerere reproduced in the text sums up a close relationship at the end of empire between the administration and the rising politicians assuming power at decolonisation when Tanganyika became Tanzania shortly after.
