With Sword and Chain in Lusaka : A Londoner's Life in Zambia 1948-1972 Book

This is the fourth book written by Richard Sampson on the penetration of Europeans into what was called Northern Rhodesia, the lives they led there and now their subsequent dispersal. Published over a period of forty-six years the four books collectively provide essential reading for any person making a study of the life of Europeans in the colony during the colonial era.
This latest book, a personal memoir, provides much detail about Lusaka in the third quarter of the twentieth century, woven around the story of the author's own life there. The commentary on business, political, municipal and military incidents occurring as the country moved out of its colonial past into a newly independent African-governed life as Zambia makes valuable and entertaining reading.
