{"product_id":"the-african-wars-chris-peers-9781399013147","title":"The African Wars: Warriors and Soldiers of the Colonial Campaigns","description":"In The African Wars Chris Peers provides a graphic account of several of the key campaigns fought between European powers and the native peoples of tropical and sub-tropical Africa in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His pioneering and authoritative study describes in vivid detail the organization and training of African warriors, their weapons, their fighting methods and traditions, and their tactics. He concentrates on the campaigns mounted by the most successful African armies as they struggled to defend themselves against the European scramble for Africa. Resistance was inconsistent, but some warlike peoples fought long and hard - the Zulu victory over the British at Isandhlwana is the best known but by no means the only occasion when the Africans humiliated the colonial invaders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Peers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399013149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399013147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pen \u0026amp; Sword Military\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 6.30w x 1.02d","brand":"Chris Peers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049298292991,"sku":"9781399013147","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1bf84297-0078-4f2d-af79-9223517bb352.jpg?v=1685000774","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-african-wars-chris-peers-9781399013147","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
