Armies of 19th Century Africa
This Osprey volume covers a somewhat miscellaneous collection of enemies faced by Britain in the mid-late 19th Century from Egypt to Kenya, notable among them being the fearsome Asantes, the Abyssinians, and the fanatical Muslim Madhists, as well as some minor tribes and the following of the rebel Egyptian leader Ahmed 'Urabi.The text provides good coverage of the often inadequate arms of these peoples as well as their respective fighting styles, and the how's and when's of their surpressions. The color plates particularly impressed me as well, being very life-like and colorful.

Useful
Provides useful information on the most notable tribes/political entities that faced Great Briton. Would have liked the volumn to have had more info on the Sepoys during the Mutiny such as organization, uniforms, weapons.
