In this book, Anthony Kirk-Greene, who served as a district officer in Nigeria for over a decade, draws upon personal memoirs, diaries, private and official papers, and his own experience, to paint a vivid picture of the service from his perspective. Symbol of Authority explores the socio-educational status of district officers, their recruitment and training, and what they did in both their work and leisure.
Anthony Kirk-Greene was Emeritus Fellow of St. Antony's College, Oxford, and was the author of Glimpses of Empire: a Corona Anthology (I.B.Tauris).
