The Kaiser's Holocaust: Germany's Forgotten Genocide and the Colonial Roots of Nazism by Casper W. Erichsen, David Olusoga

5.0

There is much covered in this detailed history of Germany's colony in South West Africa. As well as the genocide that occurred at the beginning of the twentieth century, this book looks at how many of the policies and ideas used in the colony were adopted by the Nazi party when it came to power in Germany. Overall it is a well-researched book which I would highly recommend.
