Shout at the Devil |
For the fans of Smith's Courtneys of Africa this early novel will come as a surprise. Set in German East Africa on the eve of the First World War, two freebooting adventurers - one a flamboyant Irish-American, the other an impeccable young Englishman - pit their wits against the gross German Commissioner and wage their own private war against Germany. An engrossing and enthralling read against a little-known and well-researched background, with subtle political overtones.
