In 1895 three African chiefs, dressed in the finest British clothing available, began a tour of the British Isles. That tour foiled Cecil Rhodes' grand plan for Africa and culminated in the Chamberlain Settlement, the document that indirectly led to the independence of present-day Botswana. Through newspaper clippings and archival materials, historian Neil Parsons tells the story of this bizarre journey, one of the most neglected events in British Victorian history. 37 line drawings. 3 maps.
