An Ice-cream WarH. Hamilton, 1982 - 370 من الصفحات American, German, and British lives in Eastern Africa were turned upside down by World War I. Settlers in Eastern Africa, once friendly neighbours, reluctantly became enemies. As millions were slaughtered on the Western Front, a ridiculous and little-reported campaign was being waged in East Africa - a war continued after the Armistice because no one told them to stop. This is a story of the men and women swept up by the passions of love and battle, but it also elicits the cruel futility and tragedy of it all. |
