Armoured cars in the African bush
The subject of this book will need little by way of explanation to
recommend it to interested readers. First, it concerns the First
World War in Africa as it was fought between the respective British
and German colonies in the west and east of the continent. While
the focus of the Great War was on the Western Front, these
'sideshow' campaigns have an irresistible allure for students of
the period due to the exotic nature of their terrain and
circumstances. Second, the book was written by the commander of a
distinctive and unusual unit, No 1 Squadron of the Royal Naval
Armoured Car Division. The activities of early armoured car
squadrons, which saw good service in those theatres where fluidity
of manoeuvre was still possible, has remained of particular
interest to military history students of the period in part because
many of the vehicles were the magnificent Rolls-Royce armoured cars
which have become iconic. This is an invaluable first hand account
by an eyewitness-connected to those who directed pivotal events-who
was in a position to understand the broader picture. Recommended in
every way.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
