WW1 ~ African Wars

[Guest tommyrod]

Hi everybody,

I'm writing an essay on the campains in Africa (not necessarly brit) throughout the

Great War.

Unfortunatly,by now, I don't manage to find good and reliable pieces of information

for going on.

Does anybody know good sources such as sites, books, magazines?

If so, I really hope you'd help me. Try to do as soon as you can.

Thanks a lot.

Thomas Rodriguez

PS: As I'm currentely abroad, instead of books, I'd rather mags (simpler to find out)

or, even better, internet sites.

Dont know about websites or magazines sorry. The easiest book to get hold of that summarizes all of the Africa campaigns well is 'The Great War in Africa' by Byron Farwell (ISBN 0 393 30564 3).

There are numerous web sites with some information. Here is a collection to get you started. Try 'Great War', '1914', 'Togoland', 'Cameroon' in various combinations to get more information.
