The book chronicles the South African military campaign in German East Africa (modern-day Tanzania), focusing on the period from 1916 to 1918. Under the command of General Jan Smuts, South African forces aimed to capture the German colony, facing formidable resistance from German forces led by Colonel Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck. The campaign was marked by challenging terrain, tropical diseases, and logistical difficulties. Brown emphasizes the significant role played by South African volunteers and the hardships endured by soldiers, including the high casualty rates due to illness and the harsh environment. The narrative is enriched with personal accounts and illustrations, providing a vivid portrayal of the experiences of those involved.
