Description
A unique perspective on everyday life and police work in Uganda is offered in this memoir. Newly graduated and newly married, Jock Macdonald was seconded to the Ugandan Police Force in 1956, bringing with him no first-hand experience of Africa or Colonial life. His detailed recollections of adapting to life and crime in the Protectorate of Uganda bring the country and its people vividly to life. Macdonald's story provides a fascinating insight into the challenges of policing in a rapidly changing environment. His experiences, both as a police officer and as a husband and husband-to-be, offer a nuanced view of life in Uganda during the 1950s and early 1960s. This memoir is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the history of policing in Africa, and is an interesting read for those interested in the subject.
