Book Description: Author, L. Dalton Casto has written a true story that reads like a novel, a gripping account of his family's adventures in equatorial Africa during a time of change and turmoil. As a business and economic development consultant who assisted the Ghanaian government with major political policy, he lived through successive coups in the wake of the turbulent reign of Ghana's President Nkrumah, and perilously escaped rampant looting and killing during the bloody dictatorship of Uganda's 'President for Life' Idi Amin (when the entire 50,000 Asian Indian population was stripped of its wealth and given just 90 days to flee the country with little more than the clothes on its backs). Often at the center of the historical action, Mr. Casto addresses chaotic changes in post independent Kenya and Tanzania (with its failed Russian socio economic system), Zambia Tanzania's Freedom Railroad, the threat to the Masaai tribe's way of life, and the Kikuyu instigated Mau Mau revol! ution that left 13,000 African dead. He details many colorful and sometimes humorous accounts of living, working and traveling among the diverse ethnic and economic groups in equatorial Africa, including his desert trek to Lake Rudolph along the same treacherous route where the famous Teleki Hohnel Expedition faced almost total annihilation years earlier. His continuing research and travels to Sub Saharan Africa brings the political and economic developments up to the present.
