From the foreword by General Smuts: "This book is a very interesting and instructive account of the East African Campaign during the period covered by my command. It is a careful critical study by the very able and experienced officer who was my chief of the General Staff and who was therefore in a special position to know or to learn the circumstances and difficulties of the task which faces us."

210 mm x 165 mm octavo hardcover in original pebbled green cloth with stamped titling, bearing the "Official" designation, as opposed to the red cloth version that displayed a price of 7/6, printed by the Government Printer, Pretoria, 1939. The edges are bumped and worn, having many marks in places, including the impression of a cup on the rear. There is a short split starting at the bottom of the front hinge. There is scattered foxing to the endpapers, and the first one contains the stamp of the Umvoti Mounted Rifles, Greytown, dated 21-5-1951. There are several pencil marks and notations throughout. Frontispiece folding map and 21 numbered folding maps at the end of the book as called for, number 8 being misfolded with small holes along a fold. 299 pages including index.
