description: In recent years much has been written about most parts of Africa, but Northern Rhodesia - the land of long grass and tall trees - has until now escaped attention. This is surprising because this northern territory of the young Central African Federation is rich in material for the modern writer.In has an intriguing and proud history, colourful pioneers, a diversity of African tribes, many with unique and almost unbelievable customs; it has a great heritage in its wild game; it has an administration based on the ideals of service, and from its field of politics it has produced the Federation's Prime Minister, Sir Roy Welensky.In writing The Long Grass Tony Lawman has put Northern Rhodesia on the map not only for collectors of Africana but for anyone of any age for whom the spirit of adventure is not dead.
