Battles in Africa 1897–1914 by Howard Whitehouse
If you are thinking of wargaming Colonial African battles then this is the book which will help you make up your mind.
Although only 48 pages long, it is jam-packed with inspirational information.
As a general introduction to Colonial wars in Africa it is probably unsurpassed, with divers information about battles,
armies, troop types and capabilities, typical strategies, etc., all backed up with examples from actual Colonial engagements.
Whitehouse not only presents the standard view of British (and French) campaigns, but provides comparative information for
Belgian, German, and Italian forces, as well as the viewpoint of various African opponents.
The only difficulty you'll have after reading this book is deciding which region to wargame!
