'The product of eleven years research, this first major history of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland,, 1953-1963, (supplemented by Lord Blake's masterly foreword) is based on Sir Roy Welensky's unique private papers.
The drama of the short-lived Federation is described by Dr Wood in fluent and scholarly style. His objectivity and the broad base and thoroughness of his research make The Welensky Papers indispensable to the study of the history of Africa and the British Empire.' - editor's note
