"Based on research conducted both in the Cameroon, England and Holland, where Bernard Booth met many of the retired missionaries, The Mill Hill Fathers in West Cameroon investigates the basis of missionary work in the Cameroon from the time of the German occupation, 1884, up to World War II. The study analyses their struggle to map the land, build churches, credit unions, orphanages, dispensaries and hospitals as well as develop an effective educational system, focusing particularly on the creation of Sasse College and its role in the education of many of Cameroon's leaders." "This fascinating chronicle of the Mill Hill Fathers' efforts and faith through their years in West Cameroon will be of special interest to missiologists as well as students of West African studies and will also appeal to all those interested in history of the Catholic church in Africa, seen through the work of one of its most devoted orders."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
