Description
"The district officer (DO) was the pivot of the British Colonial Administration throughout the British Empire, as was his counterpart in India. The DO was both administrator and magistrate; he was also the essential link with the professional and technical services and with the indigenous population - the 600 million people they served - in an empire of service rather than domination. In this book, Anthony Kirk-Greene, who was himself a distinguished member of the Nigeria Service, draws upon personal memoirs, diaries, private and official papers, and his own experience, to paint a vivid picture of the service and a never-to-be-repeated episode in British history."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
