Description
For the first half of the 20th Century, Sudan, a country roughly the size of western Europe, was governed by a small cadre of about a hundred British administrators - the Sudan Political Service. Ted Nightingale joined the service straight from university in 1926 and retired (as Governor of Equatoria Province) just before Sudan obtained independence in 1954.
On Sudan Government Service: From Devon to Darfur describes a life often lived in the wilder parts of the country. As a District Commissioner, he spent most of his time on trek around his district: on foot, on horse or camelback and occasionally by lorry, sometimes accompanied by his pet cheetah, possibly his polo sticks, and probably with his Holland & Holland rifle.

About the Author
E.H. Nightingale fell in love with Sudan and also with its people - whom he respected and about whose welfare he cared deeply. He was a keen amateur photographer and his photographs illustrate his stories while providing a remarkable record of a world which has largely disappeared.
