Violent Intermediaries: African Soldiers, Conquest, and Everyday Colonialism in German East Africa - New African Histories
Michelle R. Moyd
The askari, African soldiers recruited in the 1890s to fill the ranks of the German East African colonial army, occupy a unique space at the intersection of East African history, German colonial history, and military history. This book recovers and reconsiders the origin and role of these men, and of colonial soldiers more generally.
