Synopsis
The first book in a planned series dealing with the social structure of the European colonial services in Africa, this volume examines Germany's military and administrative personnel in the colonies of German East Africa, South-West Africa, Cameroun, and Togo: their performance on the scene, their educational and class background, their ideology, their continuing ties with the homeland, and their subsequent careers. Although the African colonies played a negligible part in German trade and foreign investment, they were profoundly affected by thirty years of German rule. Brutal and overbearing though many German administrators were, they had substantial achievements to their credit. Among other things, they introduced European technology, medicine, and education in their colonies, and they laid the groundwork for today's states by establishing firm geographic boundaries and building an infrastructure of ports, roads, and railways.

DJ has some wear, soiling, edge tears and chips. This is one of the Hoover Institution Publications. Lewis Henry Gann (1924-1997) was an American historian, political scientist and archivist. He was particularly known for his research in African history and specialized in the history of Central Africa in colonial era, writing a number of works in collaboration with Peter Duignan. He also worked on aspects of the history of the United States, European history, and plural societies. In 1943, Gann enlisted in the Royal Fusiliers and served in World War II. After the war, Gann joined the University of Oxford and gained a bachelor's degree in Modern History from Balliol College, Oxford in 1950. He continued his studies at Oxford and gained a masters (B.Litt.) and doctorate in 1964. Gann emigrated to the United States in 1963 where he took up a position at the Hoover Institution Library and Archives in Stanford University as a senior fellow and curator of the Institute's African and European collections. During the course of his academic career, Gann authored or edited 38 books, mainly on the subject of African history, European History, and political science. He produced a number of important works in collaboration with Peter Duignan. Peter J. Duignan was a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. He wrote extensively on comparative colonial history, modern European history, African documentation and bibliography, U.S. foreign policy, Africa, immigration to the United States, and the Atlantic Alliance. The first book in a planned series dealing with the social structure of the European colonial services in Africa, this volume examines Germany's military and administrative personnel in the colonies of German East Africa, South-West Africa, Cameroun, and Togo: their performance on the scene, their educational and class background, their ideology, their continuing ties with the homeland, and their subsequent careers.

Among other things, they introduced European technology, medicine, and education in their colonies, and they laid the groundwork for today's states by establishing firm geographic boundaries and building an infrastructure of ports, roads, and railways.
