Britain, South Africa and the East Africa Campaign 1914-1918

More about the book

Focusing on an under-researched period in British and South African history, this work presents a unique perspective by exploring colonial dynamics from the viewpoints of all involved nations. It highlights the East African campaign's significance, often overlooked in national narratives, and its implications for South Africa's emergence as an independent dominion. Through original research, Anne Samson reassesses the campaign's role in shaping South Africa's imperial aspirations and its relationship with Britain and Germany, providing a comprehensive study of this complex historical context.
