Richer than all his Tribe

This new Monsarrat bombshell reveals, with all the mastery of character and scene for which he is famous, how the African island of Pharamaul betrays her independence.

The new Prime Minister - formerly exiled by the British - is Dinamaula. His intentions are good, his path to hell straight.

Visiting the UN leaves him with a Black Power complex and a white mistress.

In Pharamaul, lechery and treachery soon replace principles and idealism. Corruption and extravagance reap civil war and cannibalism. And Dinamaula, now dictator. dreams of fresh empires.
