Sir Philip Mitchell has a distinguished career in the British Colonial Service during the latter stages of Empire. He was Governor of Uganda and Fiji, High Commissioner of the Western Pacific and finally Governor of Kenya. During World War II, he administered the former Italian territories in East Africa and had the rank of Major General. Mitchell was in the forefront of educational, economic, social and political reform and believed that human relations - especially race relations - were the key to progress in the Empire.
Sir Philip Mitchell exemplified all that was best in a long and distinguished tradition. Mr. Frost demonstrates this clearly in this well-documented book, but Mitchell's formative years, the first thirty-five, are given only eleven pages of text out of 276. A bibliography would also have been helpful. Mitchell was born in 1890.
