Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book details the establishment of an irregular corps during the Matabeleland Rebellion of 1896 when the Matabele people rose up in revolt against British authority in Rhodesia and sought to exterminate all white settlers. The author was tasked with raising, equipping, and dispatching 500 mounted men to relieve and assist an overwhelmed and besieged force in Bulawayo. The author describes the recruitment of volunteers, the acquisition of horses and equipment, and the organization, training, and transportation of the corps. The book provides a unique and detailed account of the challenges and complexities of mounting an expeditionary force in the late 19th century and sheds light on the realities of warfare and the complexities of colonial rule in southern Africa during this period. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
