Full Description
As a first of its kind, this edited collection brings together a variety of chapters dealing with different topics that address, where possible, most of the participants involved in or affected by the conflict as well as different, often neglected aspects of the East Africa campaign of the Second World War. In doing so, this volume not only makes a definite contribution to the broader historiography and to our understanding of a diverse, complex Second World War, but will also serve as an impetus for further topical research on an important, yet neglected, campaign of the war.
