A chronicle of colonial life in Africa compiled from the memories of the men and women who worked there.
The Men with Sand in their Hair
The history of British rule in Africa is a short one - it began and ended almost within the span of a man's lifetime. In the third of five programmes Charles Allen talks to the men who were drawn to serve in the great desert lands of the Dark
Continent - lands which exerted a peculiar charm upon them.
