Specially commissioned artwork and thrilling combat accounts
transport the reader to the far-flung and inhospitable East African
theatre of World War I, where the Schutztruppe faced off against
the King's African Rifles. In an attempt to divert Allied forces
from the Western Front, a small German colonial force under the
command of Oberst Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck raided British and
Portuguese territory. Despite being heavily outnumbered, his expert
use of guerrilla tactics forced the British to mount a series of
offensives, culminating in a major battle at Nyangao-Mahiwa that
saw both sides suffer heavy casualties. Meticulously researched
analysis highlights the tactical and technological innovation shown
by both armies as they were forced to fight in a treacherous
climate where local diseases could prove just as deadly as the
opposition.
