Britain, South Africa and the East Africa Campaign, 1914-1918 - The Union Comes of Age

Klappentext The East African campaign has held little place in national memory--for Britain! it has been a "romantic" side-show while for South Africa! a reminder of its failure to unite the two dominant white races and acquire the port of Delagoa Bay in Portuguese East Africa. Using new material gained from original research! Anne Samson reassesses the importance of the campaign to the young South African dominion in attempting to prove its coming of age and pursue its imperial desires. Zusammenfassung A comprehensive study from multiple perspectives! of an under-researched period in British and South African history. This work sheds light on greater historical processes of British and German rivalry in Africa and the development of an independent South Africa.
