Small Wars and Skirmishes

This is the first of a two volume series covering early twentieth century colonial campaigns in Africa, Asia and the Americas, ranging from Mexico and the Philippines to Africa and the North West Frontier.

The text covers the political background to each conflict or "police" action and provides a brief campaign narrative accompanied by details of the organisation, tactics, dress and arms of the protagonists.

There are 254 line drawings of warriors and soldiers and 34 maps of the various scenes of conflict.
