Synopsis:
".an exciting saga, written by a gifted writer with the capacity to explain military tactics and strategies in laypersons' terms.filled with a fascinating array of characters.lush illustrations highlight the text.outstanding.will delight both scholars and well informed general readers who appreciate a great story well told."--Booklist Across the globe, the 19th century signaled the high renaissance of Western Imperialism. With all their power, it may have seemed that the Europeans pressed forward unchecked, but in fact native militias often defeated those who would possess their homelands. Maintaining control of overseas empires began to put an enormous strain on the home economies of all imperial powers--especially when the Great War loomed. From the African land rush to British expansion and American imperialism, this is a gripping story.

Book Description: London 2001, Cassell, first UK paper edition, 5 x 8, 140 pages, prof illus in B&W and color, maps, , bibliog, index. --------------------------------------- Across the globe, the 19th century signaled the high renaissance of Western imperialism, with England, France, and other European nations ruling more and more territory. With all their power, it may have seemed that the Europeans pressed forward unchecked, but it was not so: native militias often defeated those who would possess their homelands, sometimes quite spectacularly. Maintaining control of overseas empires began to put an enormous strain on the home economies of all imperial powers and when the Great War loomed, they looked increasingly fragile. From the great African land rush and the Russian advance over Central Asia to British expansion and American imperialism, this gripping story, told by one of the world's great experts on the subject, captures civilizations clashing and fighting between peoples of radically different mentalities, political organizations, and technological capabilities. Chronicles world wide Colonial Imperial Wars from the late 18th Century thru the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-05.
