Kariba: The Struggle With The River God is a non-fiction book written by Frank Clements. The book tells the story of the construction of the Kariba Dam, which was built across the Zambezi River in the 1950s and 1960s. The dam was a massive engineering project that involved the relocation of thousands of people and the flooding of a vast area of land. Clements explores the political, social, and environmental impact of the dam, as well as the challenges faced by the engineers and workers who built it. The book also delves into the spiritual beliefs of the local people, who saw the Zambezi River as a powerful and unpredictable deity. Through interviews with local residents, government officials, and engineers, Clements paints a vivid picture of the struggle to harness the power of the Zambezi River and the human cost of this ambitious project. Kariba: The Struggle With The River God is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of engineering, African culture, and environmental issues.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
