"Ich hatte einen herrlichen Monat - ich habe ein Häuschen gebaut und ein Buch diktiert: 200 Ziegelsteine und 2000 Wörter am Tag", erzählte Churchill Stanley Baldwin über seine Parlamentsferien 1928. Entstanden ist ein Buch, in dem die Erzählfreude des Autors auf jeder Seite spürbar ist: Churchills Erinnerungen an seine ersten dreißig Lebensjahre, geschrieben aus einer "jeweils meinem Lebensalter angemessenen Sichtweise".

More than a travelogue however, Churchill, now in his 30s, turns his attention towards issues of government and development, suggesting that the best way to tap the latent wealth of East Africa was the development of the railway system.
