Description: "Time and the Hour is the story of a young man's experience of the Colonial Service in Nigeria from 1937 to 1946. Much of the work involved daily dealings with Africans at all levels of society from sophisticated chieftains to simple village folk, and the author has drawn on diaries and letters to recapture the immediacy of these contacts."--BOOK JACKET.
