Thomas Pakenham writes narrative history about empire, war and African political history, alongside large illustrated books about trees. The Boer War reconstructs the conflict between Britain and the Boer republics through political decisions, battlefield accounts and contemporary testimony, while The Scramble for Africa follows the European partition of the continent and the rivalries that drove it. The Mountains of Rasselas recounts an earlier Ethiopian expedition, and Meetings with Remarkable Trees turns to notable trees and landscapes in a highly visual format. Pakenham's prose is detailed, narrative and archive-led. His work fits imperial history, African history, military history and nature photography. Read more Less
