It is one of those rare books on Rwanda and Burundi,though it is disappointing to see that the author did not know much about the two nations,nor did he make any efforts to find out about them, nor did he have any intentions of helping the reader to learn a thing or two about the two mysterious nations. He did,however, a lot of digging in the German archives which nobody else wanted to do because the Germans were the bad guys,while Belgians and the British were the good guys.This was exactly the opposite in the eyes of the Africans (Rwanda,Burundi and Tanzania),who saw germans as brilliant and brave warriors who defeated far larger Belgian and English armies in world war 1.This is by far the best book on the German colonization of Rwanda and Burundi.
