Excerpt from With Botha in the Field
The ungentle reader (upon whom a malediction) will discover that this little book is not by any means exhaustive. But the gentle reader may find it to be what I hope it is. For him I wrote it.
Europe at the present time is lacerated in the greatest war of which man has knowledge. Compared with the doings in the Eastern and Western Fronts, in the Austro-Italian Theatre, or in the Dardanelles, the campaign of South Africa must take a modest place.
My idea is simply to make clear to the public (for example, all names I mention will be easily found on my diagrams, drawn from a German fully detailed map, the best of the South-West African Protectorate in existence) of gentle and patriotic readers something of the latter-day work of a gentleman and a patriot, justly famed amongst peoples with whom integrity and honour are still esteemed sovereign virtues.

Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book looks back over a century to the German South -West African Campaign of 1915, led by General Louis Botha. Having already defeated a rebellion within South Africa, Botha took command of the expeditionary force destined for the German-occupied territory, which bordered the Union of South Africa. In this insightful work, the author recounts first-hand the political climate of the time, drily describing the rebellion as âugly in spiritâ. Bothaâs key challenges are set out, including the almost farcical pursuit of rebel Kemp across the sand dunes, and his arduous trek across the Namib Desert, with its sparse and widely-scattered waterholes. The book also considers the humiliation of the German forces, who having destroyed their own infrastructure, fled across the border into Angola. This is an intriguing book, painting a vivid picture of a lesser-known theatre of the First World War, in which the author himself served. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331938392_0
