"A fast moving account of the "White Man's War". It balanced the "adventure" of battle along with the human toll that the Great War took on the continent."
"This very well written book covers WWI in Africa, events almost entirely unknown to most readers, with the exception of those who seen "the African Queen," Most of the German colonies fell very quickly to the Allies. But the German forces in German East Africa, the bulk of them African, fought throughout the entire war and were the final German forces to surrender in the field. Although cut off from the homeland almost from the beginning of the war, the German forces not only held out, but carried the war into the surrounding colonies. Includes coverage of one of the more eccentric incidents in the war in any theatre,an effort fo supply German East Africa by zeppelin from Bulgaria."
