Description
Inspector Beadle's Progress by Peter Allen is a humorous tale of ambition and perseverance in the colonial police force. After nearly eight years in the army, Beadle hopes to make a name for himself in Africa, but faces numerous obstacles, including language barriers, personal incompetence, and mistrustful locals. Beadle's journey is all the more remarkable given his own background - he spent thirty-four years working in various legal capacities on the continent. This unique blend of experience and humor makes for an entertaining read.
