Erst auf dem Ritt muß Gottschalk klargeworden sein, daß er in Wenstrup nicht, wie geglaubt, einen Parteigänger der Sozialdemokraten getroffen hatte, sondern – ein wirklich ungewöhnlicher Zufall – wahrscheinlich den einzigen anarchistischen Veterinär des deutschen Heeres.

@stuebinm@preprint.books.exposed I definitely had to read this book like I would read a thesis when I still studied history. Which uh was quite time consuming while having a near full-time job

That was a refreshingly quick read. Less refreshing the weird racism and racial slurs, but oh my I guess it's what you get for reading English books from the 30s

Hoo boi a long read for sure. Maybe we should improve society somewhat... Or at the very least remember that our social structures are not set in stone but things we can decide to change.

So much interesting information on African decolonialisation and how it often failed is contained in this book. And people tend to be ignorant about the involvement of western powers in the often brutal dictatorships and political instability that ruled so many African states.

I wish this book would have had a different editor because the story it tells is important
