The Prisoner of Chiloane: Or With The Portuguese In Southeast Africa is a historical book written by Wallis Mackay in 1890. The book is a first-hand account of the author's experience as a prisoner of war during the 1890 Anglo-Portuguese conflict in Southeast Africa. Mackay was a Scottish missionary who was captured by the Portuguese and held captive in Chiloane, Mozambique for several months. The book provides a detailed description of the conditions in the prison, the treatment of prisoners, and the daily struggles they faced. It also offers insight into the political and social climate of Southeast Africa during the late 19th century. In addition to Mackay's personal account, the book includes historical background information on the conflict, as well as a detailed analysis of the Portuguese colonial rule in Africa. The author's perspective as a missionary also offers a unique perspective on the role of religion in the conflict and the impact of colonialism on local communities. Overall, The Prisoner of Chiloane: Or With The Portuguese In Southeast Africa is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into a little-known conflict and sheds light on the complex issues of colonialism, religion, and politics in Southeast Africa during the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
