Sibley J.R. Ballantine's Campaign Book No. 20 - Tanganyikan Guerrilla: East African Campaign 1914-18

New York: Ballantine Books, 1971. - 158 pgs. Ballantine's Illustrated History of a Violent Century. Campaign Book No.20. "His strength of character, his drive and outstanding professional ability were the major factors in one of the most successful guerrilla campaigns ever waged." This is the consensus of opinion, then and now, on Germany's General Paul von Lettow Vorbeck, one of the few popular heroes to emerge from the First World War. This little-known, four-year long campaign in which a small force tied down an army many times larger than itself, remains a classic example of what can be accomplished in a guerrilla war by well-led, disciplined troops.
