Sobre este artículo
London: Cassell. Good in Good dust jacket. 1963. First Edition. Hardcover. "Examines a campaign which was almost as great a fiasco as much of the grim activity on the Western Front of WWI. The Allied conquest of German East Africa proved a desperate and outlandish struggle. The story abounds in disastrous misunderstandings and stupid underestimations alongside fine feats of heroism and endurance in the face of physical suffering, disease, lack of water, and impenetrable country; tales of old-world courtesy, of an inland naval battle, of incredible marches, ludicrous situations and abject misery. Shows how the war in 'German East' was one of the most fascinating and unusual campaigns of the century. An uncle of the author died of blackwater fever while campaigning in German East, and other of his relatives also died in this disease-ridden 'side-show' of the First World War." - dust jacket. x, 213 pages. Bibliography, index, maps, black and white photographic plates. Moderate wear to clean and unmarked book in original red cloth. Binding tight. Average wear and spine sunning to dust jacket which is now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A sound copy.; 8vo .
