520 0 _aRandal Sadleir's career mirrors the most momentous period in the history of the British Empire and Commonwealth and East Africa, when Tanganyika was transformed into Tanzania. The story begins at the height of the Second World War in Tanganyika, the former German colony and ends with Tanzania as an independent African state and member of the Commonwealth, led by Julius Nyerere. Nyerere was one of the most respected and charismatic African leaders and a statesman revered in both developed and developing countries. Sadleir's friendship with this legendary figure is a major feature of a career that ended when he left Tanzania after 30 years as its longest serving district officer. This is a unique and inside story of dedication to an African state at the end of empire.
