    4 out of 5 stars An engaging look at S. Africa's role in WWI's GEA campaign   February 13, 1999
    Mark Kaiser (kaiserma@mindspring.com) (Arlington, Texas)
    1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    Brown focuses on South Africa's role in the the largely forgotten WWI campaign in German East Africa (roughly modern Tanzania). Profusely illustrated and having numerous good maps, he ranges from the experiences of the Boer leaders to that of the individual troops. Fought under grueling conditions and against a resourceful foe, the South African soldiers performed admirably. Although the author doesn't refrain from criticizing the Boer leadership, the work is decidedly a South African viewpoint. My greatest disappointment was its neglect of the role of Boers in German service in the campaign. Many Boers had trekked to German East Africa rather than submit to British rule and very little information on them has been made available on their service with the Germans.
