This is the first full study of an African country during World War
II. Unusually, it provides both Africanist and imperialist
perspectives. Using extensive archival and oral evidence, Jackson
explores the social, economic, political, agricultural, and
military histories of Botswana. He
examines Botswana's military contribution to the war effort and the
impact of the war on the African home front. The book focuses on
events and personalities "on the ground" in Africa, and also
considers Botswana's interaction with and impact upon events and
personalities in distant imperial
centers, such as Whitehall and the wartime British Army
headquarters in the Middle East. The attitudes, aims, and actions
of all levels of colonial society--British rulers, African chiefs,
military officials, and ordinary African men and women--are
likewise studied, thus producing a unique and
"total" history of an African country at war.
