Acabou: It's Finished - Tim Green~An extraordinary true life documentary of imprisionment and survival. Imprisoned against his will and without trial for "attempting to destroy the Mozambican economy".

This book details his time (3 years) as the only white prisoner in a degenerate Mozambican prison, how his fellow inmates rallied around him and his wife's struggle, miles away, to have her husband freed.

Acabou started as a journal Tim Green kept for himself during his imprisonment in Mozambique. Scribbled with the stub of a pencil on a children's notebook, smuggled into the cell by inmates, the notes were intended as letters to his family should he not survive. On his release the notes were turned into a full length gripping story. It tells of how he was working as a commercial pilot, flying communications equipment to Mozambique. On completion of this job he was paid in American dollars, which he tried to exchange for local currency to pay for a meal. The currency was allegedly counterfeit and he was imprisoned for trying to ruin the Mozambican economy. He tells of how he was marched in front of a firing squad and almost put to death and how it was the inmates, rallying around him and his wife's pressure on the South African government that saved his life.

Tim Green was born in 1950 on a farm in the then Rhodesia, he spoke Shona until the age of five, in fact his first letter home to his parents from primary school was written in Shona. His father died when he was 16 and he ran away from boarding school to help his mother run the farm. Tim Green was the youngest commissioned officer in the Rhodesian Army at the age of 18, in his free time he qualified as a commercial pilot. ~Acabou|ISBN 1919874089|~11312~1495~~

Mzee Ali - Bror MacDonell~‘Mzee’ is the Swahili word for an ‘old timer’, a respected elder. Mzee Ali Kalikilima was born in western Tanzania in the 1870s to black Muslim parents of noble birth. Aged 14, Mzee Ali led his first slaving safari to the shores of Lake Tanganyika and thence, with his caravan of captured slaves and ivory, through the malaria, tsetse fly and lion-infested wilds, to the Arab markets of Dar es Salaam, some 1,200 kilometres away on the Indian Ocean.With the arrival of the German colonizers, Mzee Ali joined the German East African forces as an askari. He worked on the new railway line that was being laid from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma and finally to Mwanza on the shores of Lake Victoria - a monumental feat. With the outbreak of World War I, he found himself attached to the forces of the legendary German commander, General von Lettow-Vorbeck. He saw action at the Battle of Salaita Hill near Mombasa and was with the General to the end, fighting a guerrilla campaign through southern Tanganyika, Portuguese East Africa, Nyasaland, Northern Rhodesia and to final surrender. After the war, he joined the British Colonial Service as a game scout.

‘Mzee’ is the Swahili word for an ‘old timer’, a respected elder. Mzee Ali Kalikilima was born near the present-day town of Tabora in western Tanzania, probably in the 1870s (there is mention of ‘The Doctor’ - Dr David Livingstone) to black Muslim parents of noble birth. Aged 14, Mzee Ali led his first slaving safari to the shores of Lake Tanganyika and thence, with his caravan of captured slaves and ivory, through the malaria-, tsetse fly- and lion-infested wilds, to the Arab markets of Dar es Salaam, some 1,200 kilometres away on the Indian Ocean.

Bror Urme MacDonell was born in 1921 in Elizabethville, the Belgian Congo. For the first twenty years of his life he was known as Bror Örne-Glieman (his father’s Scandinavian surname) but discovered that the Belgian authorities had erroneously registered his surname as MacDonell (his mother’s previous surname). He was educated in France and later at Eton in England. He became fluent in over a dozen languages including French, Swahili, chiShona and several other African languages.
Aged nineteen, he was drafted into service during World War II. He served as Regimental Sergeant-Major with the African Light Infantry in East Africa and India and later transferred to Army Intelligence with the Northern Rhodesia Regiment. After the war he took up a varied career in hunting, locust control, farming, African administration and local government, working in the remotest bush of Northern Rhodesia and Tanganyika. He moved to Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) during the sixties and began writing Mzee Ali in 1963, from his campfire ‘bush notes’ of the forties. (Several UK publishers rejected the manuscript as being "too politically incorrect" - presumably because of the references to the black-on-black slave-trading.)
He retired to the South Coast of KwaZulu-Natal, where he died in 1998. He is survived by his wife, Marjorie, and four children.~Mzee Ali|ISBN 095848905X|~11312~11092~Mzee Ali Kalikilima,slave trade,asakri, General von Lettow-Vorbeck~

The Story of the Northern Rhodesia Regiment - Edited by WV Brelsford~This is the first full-sized history of the Northern Rhodesia Regiment whose history dates back to the earliest days of the European occupation of this territory, and whose members have since then fought gallantly in both World War I and World War II. It gives a fascinating account of the origin, growth and traditions of the Regiment and of its active service in many widely scattered countries.
Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) was one of the few British dependencies in East and Central Africa that had an African regiment with its own territorial title - the military forces of Nyasaland, Tanganyika, Kenya and Uganda being known collectively as The King's African Rifles. The regiment's origins go back to the Barotse police of the early 1900s. In World War I the Regiment campaigned in East Africa, and in World War II in Italian Somaliland, Madagascar against the Vichy French forces, and Burma against the Japanese.
This book tells of the early beginnings of the Regiment, in the time of Cecil Rhodes, when the Chartered Company tackled the uneconomical task of establishing law and order in the vast tracts of land north of the Zambezi. It tells the story of the gallantry of Europeans and Africans in the Great War when the Regiment's forebears fought in the relentless campaign against General von Lettow-Vorbeck's forces, culminating in the post-armistice surrender of the German Commander in Northern Rhodesia. In the last war the Regiment mustered eight battalions and ancillary units, and fought from the grim defeat, against overwhelming odds, at Tug Argan in 1940, through Abyssinia and Madagascar, through the Chindwin Valley and Arakan, to the final triumph at Mandaly in 1945.
