Summary: The Forgotten Front
Comment: Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck was the German general who handicapped allied forces during the First World War in East Africa. His exploits are legendary. With only several thousand men he defeated, and then harrassed, several hundered thousand British troops.

Lettow-Vorbeck recounts his experiences in this landmark book on guerilla warfare with proud satisfaction. Although his writing style is technical and antiquated, the historical significance of his account is monumental. Never suffering a major defeat, Lettow-Vorbeck only surrendered his highly skilled German and native troops after the war in Europe ended.

Lettow-Vorbeck gentlemanly remarked in his concluding paragraphs that "everyone seemed to think that we had preserved some part of Germany's soldierly traditions." Indeed he did.

I recommend that those interested in this book first try Byron Farwell's "The Great War in Africa".
