Queen Victoria's Enemies (2) : Northern Africa by Ian Knight another week, another Osprey. This book attempts to cram several conflicts in 48 pages. Occasionally without much success. There's coverage here of the campaign in the Sudan, Somalia and Dahomey. Much is made of the units the British faced there leadership, weapons and tactics. Typically there's photos and artwork.
Considering there seems to be other titles in the Osprey series covering these campaigns I'm not too sure why this was published. I did learn a few things which is always good but I probably wouldn't pay full price for this.
Mildly recommended.
Is available through AbeBooks.
