Author: M F Hill
ISBN: Not applicable

Book Description

Although these histories can be regarded as independent volumes they were published over a period of 10 years as a pair, giving a comprehensive account of the formation & development of both railway networks in East Africa. Both volumes are well illustrated, with Vol.2 including a batch of fine images of locomotives at the end. It is unusual to find a pair in such good condition along with the dust wrappers. Various newspaper cuttings relevant to the histories are loosely inserted inside the covers.
