Paperback. Etat : 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.
