Adventures in Africa: Under the British, Belgian, and Portuguese Flags is a memoir written by John Bensley Thornhill in 1915. The book recounts the author's experiences as a young man working in Africa during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Thornhill worked for various colonial powers, including the British, Belgian, and Portuguese, and his memoir provides a firsthand account of the political and social conditions in Africa during this time period. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the exploitation of African resources, the treatment of native populations by colonial powers, and the impact of European imperialism on the continent.Throughout the book, Thornhill describes his adventures in vivid detail, including his encounters with dangerous animals, his travels through remote regions of Africa, and his interactions with various indigenous tribes. He also provides insights into the daily life of colonial officials and the challenges they faced in maintaining order in a rapidly changing continent.Despite the book's focus on colonialism, Thornhill's writing is not without criticism of the imperial powers he worked for. He is critical of the exploitation of African resources and the mistreatment of native populations, and his memoir provides a valuable historical perspective on the impact of European imperialism on Africa. Overall, Adventures in Africa: Under the British, Belgian, and Portuguese Flags is a fascinating and informative account of one man's experiences in Africa during a pivotal period in the continent's history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
