Synopsis
In 1954 the exciting expansiveness of a Colonial Office telegram was the starting point of Alan Forward's career as a young District Officer. This book is a unique record of his experience of Uganda's political, social and economic development in the years leading to independence in 1962. Written in an easily read style as a series of 20 retrospective letters to a friend in England, the book describes the life and work of district officers and departmental specialists in the districts and in the secretariat in Entebbe. As Private Secretary to His Excellency the Governor, Sir Walter Coutts, the author recounts the problems presented by Iain Macleod's decision to grant independence only seven months after the introduction of self-government; and the last minute efforts to agree an independence constitution acceptable to all Uganda's varied people living in four kingdoms and ten districts. He records the highly successful Royal Visit by Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Kent at independence, when the Prime Minister, Milton Obote, spoke of his appreciation of "the best we have received and now inherit from the British administrators." In a final letter, dated July 1999, the author reviews the British administration of Uganda and records the achievements of the present Uganda Government led by His Excellency President Museveni. The book will appeal to those with no knowledge of Uganda or of the Colonial Service, as much as to those who may, through it, recall their own experiences. The author's contemporary colour pictures aid the description of Uganda's mountains, lakes and rivers and highlight the tourist potential of this most lovely country. Alan Forward concludes that Uganda is strategically placed as an island of progress in a disturbed continent, and calls for the abolition of Uganda's remaining international debts. As Churchill wrote in 1908, "Concentrate on Uganda."
