Clyde Sanger's Reflections on the 1979 Lusaka CHOGM: Commonwealth Oral History Project

A journal kept by the Commonwealth Secretariat's Director of Information Clyde Sanger during the 1979 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Lusaka, Zambia, reproduced here as part of the Commonwealth Oral History Project. The project aims to produce a unique digital research resource on the oral history of the Commonwealth since 1965 through sixty oral history interviews with leading figures in the recent history of the organisation. It will provide an essential research tool for anyone investigating the history of the Commonwealth and will serve to promote interest in and understanding of the organisation. In addition to the 1979 Lusaka CHOGM, Sanger's Journal follows activities in Marlborough House prior to the meeting and also in Kenya, France and England afterwards, up to and including the September 1979 Lancaster House Conference in London.
