Conville & Walsh

Alastair Hazell was raised in Malawi in the 1960s, surrounded by neighbours who viewed the Nyasa Slave Wars, which had ended just 70 years earlier, as very recent history: a sense of historical connection which stuck with Alastair when he studied at Cambridge, and on through the seven years during which he ran Macmillan Africa. Thereafter Alastair founded a financial information company, the successful sale of which allowed him to set up a couple of other business and to run an African NGO, and devote himself to these primary sources.
