]]> Fascinating and colorful history of the construction of the East African Railway, a series of lines that once connected Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania under British rule and which still serve various parts of these countries. The authors provide an objective history of the extraordinary engineering efforts, the economic impact, the African and British personnel involved and the continued utilization and changes through the 1980s. Every aspect of the railway is here — from the man-eating lions that terrorized the workers to the fine china that once decorated the tables. Illustrated throughout with full color as well as vintage black and white photos. With maps. 192 pages.
