Richer Than All His Tribe

The sequel to The Tribe That Lost Its Head is a compelling story that charts the steady drift of a young African nation toward bankruptcy, chaos, and barbarism. On the island of Pharamaul, a former British protectorate, newly installed prime minister, Chief Dinamaula, celebrates Independence Day with his people, full of high hopes for the future. But the heady euphoria fades and Dinamaula's ambitions and ideals start to uckle as his new-found wealth corrupts him, leaving his nation to spiral toward hellish upheaval and tribal warfare.
