Summary
"Kariba Dam was 'Africa's greatest mass of masonry since the Pharaohs built the pyramid', the Sunday Mail thundered on completion of the wall in 1959. In this picture-rich book, the construction of what remains the world's biggest lake is retold by those involved in the project. Strong on social history, Kariba-legacy of a vision contains the stories of over 100 people who drove the development of industries around the lake in the six decades since its completion."--
