About this listen

 Former war correspondent Aidan Hartley on this edition of Fresh Air. In the 1990s he covered Ethiopia, Somalia, Rwanda and the Congo for Reuters. Three of his colleagues were killed by a mob in Somolia rebelling against the presence of U.S. forces, and he witnessed the atrocities in Rwanda. Hartley grew up in Africa, the son of a British colonial officer. His family has a colonial legacy four generations old beginning with his great-great-grandfather who defended British settlements in 19th century New Zealand. After the death of his father, Aidan found in a chest his father had given him the diaries of his father's best friend who had died mysteriously fifty years earlier. Hartley set out to find out what happened. His new memoir is The Zanzibar Chest: A Story of Life, Love, and Death in Foreign Lands. (Broadcast Date: August 14, 2003)(P) and ©2003 WHYY-FM
