Description

Explore the shared patterns of violence in fin-de-siecle colonial warfare with this study from Cambridge University Press. Tom Menger examines the British, German, and Dutch empires between 1890 and 1914 to argue that extreme violence was not unique to individual empires, but part of a connected 'Colonial Way of War'. This book provides a detailed look at transimperial connectivity through the study of shared practices like scorched earth tactics and extermination. Readers will gain insight into historical events such as the Herero Genocide (1904-1908) and learn how exchanges and transfers between different actors helped shape these widespread military methods. It is an essential resource for understanding the global nature of colonial conflict during this era.
