Paradise - Mike Resnick

A colonisation story. The Republic of Man move in on a primitive planet and the same exploitation, culture shock and destruction of wildlife happens, much as it had in Africa. Along with uprisings. When the humans withdraw rapidly the locals have to deal with the rapid progress. A human biographer is asked to write a book about their first president and war hero. Then return after he has died to see another in a short succession of rulers.
