Despite its obvious German-colonial overtones, this is one of the best contemporary studies of Namibia as a settlement colony in the period before the First World War. The main focus is on the settling of the territory up to 1903, the change in colonial policy resulting from the war of anti-colonial resistance, the construction of railways, land ownership structure, landsurvey and water supply. The author, who was a leading army officer, has also written one of the few published accounts of the First World War in Namibia: Der Feldzug in Südwestafrika. 1914-1915 (Berlin: Safari-Verlag, 1923, 268 p.).
