Elmat, I suggest you read this when you find time. Ostensibly about building the colonial railroad from Mombasa to Nairobi, but it covers a great deal of territory and history... THE LUNATIC EXPRESS - An Entertainment in Imperialism amazon.com Customer review... This is a book that I read ten years ago but has remained at the top of my list for Non Fiction. It covers the history of East Africa from the early slave trading of the Arabs at Mombasa and Zanzibar right up to the 1920's. It's main story is the building of the Mombassa to Kenya railroad, which includes the story of the Man-eating Lions of Tsavo. The whole book carries one along much as a passenger on the Railroad with a fast pace and more detail than the eye could take in with the feast of information that passes. Thinking about it makes me want to take the train trip from Mombassa to Kenya, which still runs today.
