My Reminiscences of East Africa: The German East Africa Campaign in World War One - A General's Memoir
General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck of the German East-Africa campaign shares his narrative of the war, and his effective use of guerilla warfare to keep a far larger Allied army in check.
Unlike his counterparts in Europe, whose war had quickly come to a standstill and infamous trench warfare, Lettow-Vorbeck led a highly effective campaign that impressed commanders on both sides. His campaign took place over what is today Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania, with parts of Britain's colonial holdings eventually also subject to skirmishing. The cunning use of the terrain, weather, ambush, salvaged guns from the sunken ship Königsberg, and locally hired auxiliaries meant Lettow-Vorbeck's small force kept an Allied army roughly ten times as large occupied.
