The German African Empire

Published in 1916, The German African Empire offers a scholarly and detailed account of the German Empire's colonial ambitions in Africa. While much scholarly attention has been focused on the British and French colonial empires, Calvert's book provides an important perspective on the German experience of colonization and the intense rivalry between the European powers for control of Africa. This new edition includes an introduction by historian Alan Kramer that situates Calvert's work in its historical and political context.
