THE FORGOTTEN FRONT: THE EAST AFRICAN CAMPAIGN 1914-1918
by Ross Anderson

The First World War began in East Africa in July 1914 and did not end until 13 November 1918. In scale and impact, it was the largest conflict yet to take place on African soil. Four empires and their subject peoples were engaged in a conflict that ranged from Kenya in the north to Mozambique in the south, leaving hunger and devastation in its trail. Yet the East African campaign has languished in undeserved obscurity over the years, with many people only vaguely aware of its course of events. Africans bore the brunt of the fighting and few escaped the impact of the war

GALLIPOLI
by L. A. Carlyon

The struggle for the Gallipoli Peninsula was dominated by the terrain as much as by men and steel, and here the battlefields come alive as the author guides the reader through them, evoking the landscape as never before. Using this intimate knowledge of Gallipoli itself, together with a masterly blend of storytelling and scholarship, respected journalist L. A. Carlyon has written the most definitive, immediate and affecting account yet of one of modern history's defining moments.
