More about the book
Focusing on the early 20th-century German colonial campaign, this historical narrative follows Peter Moor, a young soldier involved in the conflict against the Herero and Nama peoples. It details the harsh military tactics employed by Germany, including mass violence and forced relocations, while also examining the psychological effects of war on soldiers. Although it provides a glimpse into the soldiers' experiences, the book has faced criticism for romanticizing colonialism and not fully addressing the atrocities committed. It serves as a significant document in understanding European colonization in Africa.
