Aidan Hartley - The Zanzibar Chest
Aidan Hartley (named after Aden) is one of those British colonials who never actually returned to Britain, even if they could regard it as "home". But they still mostly stayed where their ancestors had moved. Hartley himself became a war correspondent and wittnessed number of African conflicts, not only the most famous ones.
( If you want to read happy stories about the Dark Continent, this book is not for you. )
