An interesting account of a British soldier's war in East Africa with British African troops against the Italian colonial interests there. While this part of WWII may be seen as a sideshow of a sideshow the author starkly paints the struggles against the environment & local tribal issues as well as the death and loss that comes with combat.
A worthy memoir of service in WWII East Africa which is overshadowed by the momentous actions of the northern campaigns.
