Description

This book revisits some of the most significant guerrilla struggles of the late 19th century, all set in Africa, and remind readers, in light of current events, the difficulties involved in engaging in this type of conflict. From the Back Cover The essays in this volume concentrate on imperial conflict. Until recently, most historians of empire have concerned themselves with economic issues. More recently, scholarship has turned to social and cultural aspects of Empire. The role of the military, however, continues to be largely ignored. Historians have traditionally viewed the military as an arm of the civil power, an institution which did not create policy but faithfully obeyed the directives given to it. These essays show that indeed the military thought for itself: its officers made policy, introduced new strategies and tactics, and utilized the services of local settlers and indigenes to pursue the interests of empire, and the rank and file informed ideas in Great Britain concerning Africa and Africans. About the Author Stephen M. Miller, Ph.D., F.R.Hist.S. is Associate Professor of History at the University of Maine. He is the author of Lord Methuen and the British Army (Cass, 1999) and Volunteers on the Veld: Britain's Citizen Soldiers and the South African War (Oklahoma, 2007).
