Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: In The African Wars, Chris Peers provides a graphic account of several of the key campaigns fought between European powers and the native peoples of tropical and subtropical Africa in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His pioneering and authoritative study describes in vivid detail the organization and training of African warriors, their weapons, their fighting methods and traditions, and their tactics.
He concentrates on the campaigns mounted by the most successful African armies as they struggled to defend themselves against the European scramble for Africa. Resistance was inconsistent, but some warlike peoples fought long and hard - the Zulu victory over the British at is the best known but by no means the only occasion when the Africans humiliated the colonial invaders.
REVIEWS
â¦looks at numerous campaigns in sub Saharan Africa from the late 1700s to the early 1900s, with more serious attention to the African side than is customaryâ¦an important read for anyone interested in Colonial Warfare.â
