Description
The 28 were a strange bunch -- one was addicted to Worcester sauce another was a former racing driver -- but the strangest of all of them was their skirt-wearing tattoo-covered commander Geoffrey Spicer-Simson. Whatever it took even if it meant becoming the god of a local tribe he was determined to cover himself in glory. But the Germans had a surprise in store for Spicer-Simson in the shape of their secret 'supership' the Graf von Gotzen . . .
Unearthing new German and African records the prize-winning author of The Last King of Scotland retells this most unlikely of true-life tales with his customary narrative energy and style.
Fitzcarraldo meets Heart of Darkness this is rich vivid and flashmanesque in its appeal - military history at its most absorbing and entertaining
