### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent reading
  

*by F***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2018*

This is an excellent book on a subject that is way under reported! The book title correctly describes the content of the book. I found the book when I was researching the war in German East Africa. I found very little elsewhere and a great treatment here! This is a great history book in that it reads like a novel! I just pulled it from my shelf to read for the second time. That is something that I seldom do.

    An Interesting Story Packed With Smaller Interesting Stories
  

*by I***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2013*

Much of the First World War boiled down to a horrid, mass-produced killing on the Western Front.  Gallantry, initiative, and élan simply got chewed up by machine guns, artillery, and poison gas.But in Africa the war was different.  The colonies were undeveloped to a degree where courage wasn't suicide, and where initiative was duly rewarded.Byron Farwell brings to life this theater of operations, where bees were as much a threat as bullets.  The most interesting part of the book heroic resistance of the Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck and his Schutztruppe of the German East Africa colony.Packed with interesting tales, it is a great book about the First World War in Africa.

    The forgotten battles of WWl
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2009*

This very well written book covers WWI in Africa, events almost entirely unknown to most readers, with the exception of those who seen "the African Queen," Most of the German colonies fell very quickly to the Allies. But the German forces in German East Africa, the bulk of them African, fought throughout the entire war and were the final German forces to surrender in the field. Although cut off from the homeland almost from the beginning of the war, the German forces not only held out, but carried the war into the surrounding colonies. Includes coverage of one of the more eccentric incidents in the war in any theatre,an effort fo supply German East Africa by zeppelin from Bulgaria.
