| Meer info | “from its Commencement under Bishop Mackenzie to its Withdrawal from the Zambesi” Account of the disastrous UCMA mission to central Africa (Malawi) by one of the 2 survivors. Misled about the prospects before they set off, badly advised by Dr Livingstone on arrival, the party then got involved in tribal warfare with slavers. Disease and famine then started to take its toll forcing the missions withdrawal to Zanzibar. Although a missionary work, the book is an excellent account of the region at a time of turmoil and also a fascinating account of the harrowing expedition, well written. € 560 |
