The Ghosts Of Africa

Description for THE GHOSTS OF AFRICA by William Stevenson:

William Stevenson, author of the sensational bestseller, A Man Called Intrepid, recreates a towering saga from the annals of World War I—the amazing novel of a man whose exploits rivaled the legend of Lawrence of Arabia, the visionary German officer they called the Lion of Africa.

Here is the hero who defies his own government and challenges the might of the British Empire, leading a daring guerrilla army of German soldiers and black tribesmen who battle for the valuable wilderness in the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Sworn to shatter the rule of white supremacy forever, allied to a conspiracy of idealists who seek a Jewish homeland, Lieutenant-Colonel Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck finds love with a proud, beautiful American pacifist; grapples in deadly combat with a ruthless British master spy; and launches a ravishing African princess into a course of intrigue whose outcome could tip the balance of the war.
