Blood on the Tracks – A Rail Journey from Angola to Mozambique –

“The colonial railway which spans the African continent is the only direct route linking the Atlantic and Indian oceans. It meanders through three civil wars, five countries, a couple of rain forests and the history of twentieth-century Africa. By following the railways, Miles Bredin guides us through some of the saddest, poorest and most corrupt countries in the world: from Angola, through Zaïre, Zambia and Zimbabwe to Beira on the east coast of Africa.”
