In the 19th century the eastern Savannah (now divided between the countries of Nigeria, Niger, Mali, and Cameroon) was one of the most most culturally sophisticated parts of the African continent. During this period warfare among the peoples of the eastern Savannah was largely dominated by cavalry, and a significant proportion of these mounted troops were armoured. This groundbreaking book examines in detail the arms, equipment and methods of warfare used by armoured ‘knights’ and infantry, and includes in addition sections on their horses, artillery, flags, fortifications, and clothing.

The Easter Rising was an insurrection staged in Ireland during Easter Week, 1916. Mounted by Irish republicans with the aims of ending British rule in Ireland and establishing the Irish Republic, it was the most significant uprising in Ireland since 1798. The Rising was suppressed after seven days of fighting, and its leaders were court-martialled and executed but it succeeded in bringing physical force republicanism back to the forefront of Irish politics. The narrative proceeds on an almost hour by hour basis building up a detailed picture of events.
