Armies in East Africa 1914-18

,
One of the least-published but most interesting campaigns of the Great War was that fought in East Africa by forces of colonial troops - British Empire, German, Belgian and Portuguese. Short of resources due to the priority given to other fronts, European, African and Indian soldiers recorded epics of endurance as they hunted the outnumbered but brilliantly led German colonial forces across a vast, disease-ridden wilderness. The achievements of the German commander Paul von Lettow Vorbeck - the last German commander in the field to lay down his arms in 1918 - brought him fame and respect comparable to those won by Rommel in World War II. The events and the forces are described here in concise detail, and illustrated with rare photographs and striking colour plates.
