Condición: New. Hardback 184 pages with 30 B&W IllustrationsPublished Price £19.99 Britain fought three major wars, and two minor ones, with the Asante people of West Africa in the nineteenth century. Only the Sudanese and Zulu campaigns saw a greater loss of life, both for the British and the indigenous population. Like the Zu…lus, the Asante were a warrior nation who offered a tough adversary for the British regulars â" they were respected for their martial skills and bravery. And yet these wars have rarely been written about and are little understood. That is why Stephen Manningâs vivid, detailed new history of this neglected colonial conflict is of such value.In the war of 1823-6 the British were defeated â" the British governorâs head was severed and his skull was taken to the Asante king who made a cast of gold and this trophy was paraded once a year during an Asante ceremony. The years 1873-4 witnessed the brilliance of Sir Garnet Wolseley in overcoming the logistical problems of sending a large British expedition deep into the jungle where it faced not only a formidable foe but a climate so unforgiving that the region became known as âThe White Manâs Graveâ. Finally, the 1900 campaign culminated in the epic siege of the British fort in Kumasi which must rank as one of the great Victorian escapades alongside the more famous sieges of Peking and Mafikeng.Stephen Manningâs account, which is based on Asante as well as British sources, offers a fascinating view from both sides of one of the most remarkable and protracted struggles of the colonial era.

Condición: New. Hardback 218 pages + plates Published Price £25 Britainâs war against the Zulu people of southern Africa in the late nineteenth century is one of the most famous clashes in the history of the British empire, but her earlier wars against the Xhosa, also in southern Africa, are far less well known. And, although t…he role Lord Chelmsford played in the Anglo-Zulu War has been recounted in exhaustive detail, his earlier experience against the Xhosa has rarely been explored in the same intensive way. That is why Stephen Manningâs absorbing study of these colonial campaigns and Chelmsfordâs part in them is so timely and valuable.Chelmsfordâs military career and Britainâs troubled relationship with the Xhosa people came together in 1878 with the conclusion of the 9th Frontier War, in which Chelmsford commanded the victorious British forces. This conflict is vividly described here. Perhaps Chelmsford learned the wrong lessons from his struggle with the Xhosa because his initial handling of British forces during the Anglo-Zulu War resulted in disaster at the Battle of Isandlwana. Although Chelmsford regained the initiative and his forces defeated the Zulus at Gingindlovu and Ulundi, his reputation never recovered.Stephen Manningâs account of Chelmsfordâs South African campaigns gives us a fascinating insight into the military and political history of southern Africa in the period and provides a fresh view of Chelmsford himself â" as a man of his time and as a military commander.
