The War of a Hundred Days: Springboks in Somalia and Abyssinia 1940 - 41 RARE HC

The War of a Hundred Days: Springboks in Somalia and Abyssinia 1940 - 41 by James Ambrose Brown (Rare 1990 Hardcover Edition)

"One of only a few books on the WW2 campaign in East Africa, this is one in a series of books focusing on South African military history. The author was an infantryman in the campaign and later wrote two of the official histories of South Africa in the war and knows his subject. The book not only covers the battles in the 1940-41 campaign, but the history of Ethiopia and three national leaders (Benito Mussolini, Haile Selassie and Jan Christian Smuts) who influenced events before and during the campaign. A good read on a seldom covered subject." - Amazon Review

"Nice easy read book. Has some maps. I am a stickler on having maps to follow. Third book I read on the War in East Africa and the best of the three." - Frank Sagi, Amazon Review
