Of Sidearms and Dinner Jackets by Robert Dewar
When Englishman Michael Hood receives an invitation to visit his old school friend’s ranch in the colony of Equatoria, British East Africa, at the start of 1960, he can hardly imagine the beauty and allure of the region he will come to know during repeated lengthy stays, nor the excitement, drama and tragedy which will mark his visits. And when he first disembarks at Port Hardinge, Equatoria’s main port, he cannot guess that he is about to meet and fall in love with a beautiful settler’s daughter named Marjory. As insurrection, violence, and ultimately, destruction, are played out against the striking equatorial African scenery, Michael’s love for Marjory grows ever deeper, and in time, in a region of Africa as yet untouched by violence, they achieve a dream they come to share . . . .
