A Tempting Snare in East Africa Scheme Explored
An 19th century exposé details the British East Africa Company founded by Mackinnon and partners. It traces fundraising from founders and investors, aims to control slave trade with a coast to Victoria Nyanza railway, and the push for imperial subsidies.

It forecasts annexation risk and long-term military costs to England.
