      abstract = {"Reflecting emerging scholarship on the entanglement of  colonial histories, this book examines British and South  African perspectives on, and involvement in, the genocide  of the Herero and Nama in German South West Africa from  1904 to 1908. Seeking to present a transnational and  trans-colonial perspective on the war imposed by Germany,  the book sheds light on Anglo-German relations during  native' rebellions and exposes shared experiences of  colonial violence. This approach aligns with a new surge of  historiography which emphasises the co-operation between  colonial powers to maintain order in Africa. The author  focuses on British involvement in counter-insurgency  efforts, its awareness of the extent of the genocide, and  how the Herero-Nama War impacted colonial rule in British  territory. Not only exploring the war years, the book  covers the entire period of German colonial rule in Africa  (1884-1919), and highlights British and South African  perspectives throughout this period. Offering fresh  insights on the first genocide of the century, this book  builds on a growing body of research into trans-colonialism  and contributes to modern German history."--},
