The incredible true account of World War I in Africa and General Paul von LettowVorbeck, the last undefeated German commander.Let me say straight out that if all military histories were as thrilling and well written as Robert Gaudis African Kaiser, I might give up reading fiction and literary biography Gaudi writes with the flair of a latterday Macaulay. He sets his scenes carefully and describes naval and military action like a novelist.Michael Dirda, The Washington PostAs World War I ravaged the European continent, a completely different theater of war was being contested in Africa. And from this very different kind of war, there emerged a very different kind of military leader....At the beginning of the twentieth century, the continent of Africa was a hotbed of international trade, colonialism, and political gamesmanship. So when World War I broke out, the European powers were forced to contend with one another not just in the bloody trenches, but in the treacherous jungle. And it was in that unforgiving land that General Paul von LettowVorbeck would make history.With the nowlegendary Schutztruppe (Defensive Force), von LettowVorbeck and a small cadre of hardened German officers fought alongside their fanatically devoted native African allies as equals, creating the first truly integrated army of the modern age.African Kaiser is the fascinating story of a forgotten guerrilla campaign in a remote corner of Equatorial Africa in World War I; of a small army of ultraloyal African troops led by a smaller cadre of rugged German officersof white men and black who fought side by side. But mostly it is the story of von LettowVorbeckthe only undefeated German commmander in the field during World War I and the last to surrender his arms.
