Title: Badly Written and Full of Errors.
Product review: This book was a failure on virtually every front.The author simply did not pay attention to basic facts. For example, in his chapter on the Battle of Tanga he referred to the battle as "the initial battle in Africa's share of the First World War" (November 1914). This is wrong. There was fighting in the Cameroons in August of 1914, in South West Africa (todays Namibia) in September of 1914, and so forth.He also suggests that if the Battle of Tanga had turned out "differently" the "World War, African Segment" would have been finished in 1914. This ignores numerous other battles in other parts of Africa (for example the "Lakes Region" and South West Africa) which lasted well after 1914.These factual errors are compounded by the errors in language. Throughout the book inappropriate slang is used, and the writing style is rather "breathless" and "sensational". He tends to describe various individuals as "moving like a beetle".It isn't worth the time to read.
