Product Description
To Arms is Hew Strachan's most complete and definitive study of the opening of the First World War. Now, key sections from this magisterial work are published as individual paperbacks, each complete in itself, and with a new introduction by the author. The First World War was not just fought in the trenches of the western front. It embraced all of Africa. Embracing the perspectives of all the nations who fought there, this is the first ever full account of the Great War in Africa.
About The Author
Hew Strachan is Chichele Professor of the History of War, University of Oxford.
Reader Reviews
Overall a solid book about WWI's Africa campaigns. Strachan does a good job breaking the campaigns up by region, while still helping to maintain any connections between the separate colonial battles. He also provides a solid background of social factors in the war in Africa. Lastly, he shows no bias towards the Allies or Great Britain, making every effort to depict the conflict as it was seen from both points of view. The only drawback to this book is that it came off a little dry, with few anecdotes or depictions of the battles. His writing focuses on the overall strategies and not the battle stories of individual units. However, if one is looking for an accurate, in-depth, and educational account of this forgotten front, look no further than this book.
