Description
Warriors: Life and Death Among the Somalis is a powerful and thought-provoking account of a pivotal moment in modern history. In 1945, a group of British Army soldiers were stationed in Somalia, tasked with preventing bloodshed between feuding tribes. This harrowing experience had a profound impact on the soldiers, leading to seven officers taking their own lives. Gerald Hanley's book is a devastating critique of imperialism, shedding light on a little-known aspect of World War II. The book is a sobering reminder of the human cost of conflict and the devastating consequences of imperial policies. Hanley's account is a gripping and unflinching portrayal of a difficult time, one that drove him to explore the complexities of war and its effects on those involved. With its unvarnished honesty, Warriors is a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of World War II and the human experience.
