I haven't bought an Osprey in a long while but I may give this one a look, thanks for the heads up.

Also, I like the 'frequently bought together' bundle at the bottom of the Amazon page:
Imperial German Colonial and Overseas Troops 1885-1918,
Russian Security and Paramilitary Forces since 1991
Manzikert 1071 (Campaign)

An interesting trio...

No Personal interest for me but cool.

Gracias,

Russian security forces keeping German-African immigrants from interfering with the outcome of the battle of Manzikert ? 

Someone in the Amazon marketing department forgot to say 'no' to drugs...

Got mine, glad to have some color  info on the Pacific area.  Worth the wait!

They're all new releases, that's why they're bundled together.  Lots of completists out there apparently.

I received this book recently and I was pretty unimpressed, it's just far too short for the subject it professes to cover. I'm not sure Ill get any use of it even though I have a large German Darkest Africa force on the slate.

Bummer. What's a better book? Isn't there a Schiller publishing book on the topic? I have a lot of old cigar card photos, but I've always wondered about their accuracy.
