Résumé
The second installment in the enthralling exploits of Commissioner Sanders, Great Britain&’s man in colonial AfricaCommissioner Sanders should have known better than to go on vacation. He is just a few days from his offices in British West Africa when… he receives word from his second in command that trouble, always at a simmer in this jungle outpost, is about to come to a boil. He rushes home, arriving just in time for a meeting of the chiefs of his territory, who have been misled by an ambitious agitator named Bosambo into thinking that Sanders is dead. Sanders&’s return staves off rebellion, but Bosambo&’s power grab is not over yet. To keep the province from erupting into all-out tribal warfare, Sanders must outsmart the most brilliant chieftain in Africa. In these rip-roaring adventures, the heroic commissioner contends with malaria, ju-ju, and the whims of government officials safely ensconced in their London offices. The People of the River is both a good-natured thrill ride and a fascinating historical document.
