A History of Zambia, Andrew Roberts's 1976 scholarly survey history from Heinemann Educational Books and Africana Publishing Company, covers Leza and ancestor religion, David Livingstone's death at Chitambo in 1873, the London Missionary Society, Paris Evangelical and White Fathers missions, and the interwar Watchtower or Kitawala movements. Its strength is that it is a standard academic survey history of the country. Its limit is that it was published in 1976, fifteen years before Frederick Chiluba's 1991 Christian nation declaration, which it cannot reach and is not claimed for; that separate claim is sourced to Phiri elsewhere in the catalog.
