Richer Than All His Tribe by Nicholas Monsarrat

The sequel to The Tribe That Lost Its Head is a compelling story which charts the steady drift of a young African nation towards 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 buckle as his new found wealth corrupts him, leaving his nation to spiral towards hellish upheaval and tribal warfare.

Richer Than All His Tribe Reviews

'Compulsively readable'--Daily Telegraph


'A brilliant story teller, Monsarrat plots the course of events superbly.'--Daily Mail


'With his usual toughness and skill, Mr Monsarrat is unsparing with his description of violence, of men's stupidity, whether they lose or win; and above all of the cynical brutality that is conditioned by political expediency.'--The Times


'Not so much a book as a slab of dynamite. It will go off with a great explosive roar in the well-carpeted embassies and legations of more than one African country.'--Sunday Mirror


'...the plot is at once interesting and dramatic, the scene vividly described, the writing vigorous and colourful.'--Illustrated London News
