Format: Trade Paperback ISBN: 9780571231423 Condition: Very Good A few pages are dog eared, and the book has a slight amount of shelf wear. Contents Description: On 12 May 1883, the German flag was raised on the coast of South-West Africa, modern Namibia. When the indigenous peoples—the Herero and Nama—resisted, Germany launched a war of extermination. It ended with the construction of concentration camps, in which prisoners were systematically worked and starved to death. Years later, the soldiers and bureaucrats who had administered the camps, and the racial theories that inspired them, would play a curcial role in the formation of Nazism. - from the back cover
