Book Description
In the style that caused his Napoleonic Source Book and World War One Source Book to become mainstays of military history sine their publication, Philip Haythornthwaite again brings his orderly thoroughness to the evaluation of the colonial warfare which afflicted the world in the 19th century. He provides the finest single volume narrative reference on the subject with full coverage of events involving Britain, the Americas, Africa, the Far East, the Indian sub-continent and Australia. The Colonial Wars Source Book provides biographical details of the important personalities involved, an extensive glossary, a full chapter of sources and sundry fascinating quotes and anecdotes which interweave the entertaining and informative text.
