"Sales/posting to the USA suspended". Card covers, xxi/247pp, b&w illustrations/maps. Light wear to card edges/corners; a very good copy. The Great War in east Africa was much more than a sideshow - it was a classic guerilla campaign that has entered military legend. The author of this account was an officer of the 25th Royal Fu…siliers, a British unit in the predominantly Indian and South African allied army that attempted, with huge losses and only limited success, to hunt down the elusive Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, the brilliant and resourceful commander in German East Africa. Lettows small force of white officers and native African Askaris ranged across a vast region, twice the size of Germany itself, to keep one jump ahead of their allied pursuers. Initially outnumbered, the allies harried their quarry, but never finally defeated him. The Armistice found Lettow still in the field, barely able to credit the news that his beloved Fatherland had cruumbled. Buchanans book shows why one of his soldiers griped: Ah, I wish to hell I was in France! There one lives like a gentleman and dies like a man; here one lives like a pig and dies like a dog. The allies found themselves battling a hostile climate, terrain, and above all disease especially the dreaded malaria which took a greater toll of lives than the fierce enemy resistance.

Hard Cover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fair. First Edition. Unclipped dustwrapper (original price of 12/- on spine) has creasing and tears to edges, particularly a 2.5 inch tear at bottom right of spine and a smaller one-inch tear to opposite side, also a little bit missing at top end and at bottom right of sam…e. Slight bumping to spine ends of gray boards with decoration on front board showing a soldier and a palm tree. A previous (original?) owner's name on f/ep, some yellowing to the pages, a small tear to top corner of map on page 86 (Frontier to Morogoro) where it is fixed to the pages, but with no damage to the printing on the map itself, and no damage to the two smaller maps on pp124 and 172. Otherwise a good clean tight copy of this first edition of this hard-cover book. Deals with the author's wartime service in the German East Africa campaign from 1915-18. He served in the 25th Battalion Royal Fusiliers (''Legion of Frontiersmen''). 247pp, 8 b&w ilustrations, 3 maps. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
