hokuma by Graham Tottle (best books to read ever TXT) 📕

This book describes the fascinating work-from agriculture to entomology- which has been done in the British Commonwealth from my own experience. And the heroes and villains.
I was a government official in the South West of Uganda for five inspiring years just before independence in 1963. Followed by twenty years programming and managing big mainframe software, then twenty years as a consultant in computing for development, working for the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation and World Bank and EU and DFID in 21 Third World countries, most from the Commonwealth. As the saying goes, “Been there, done that”. Unlike most of the pundits who fashionably attack the empire, and like Marc Antony in Julius Caesar, I “speak what I do know”. But Shakespeare’s Marc Antony was pulling the wool over the four citizens’ eyes, whereas I am not.
This gave me an affection for and understanding of these 21 countries which is way beyond the hypercritical hokum spoken by many journalists and even many historians of today.
