"In a barely explored wilderness of dense jungle and thorn bush known as the "bundu", the bizarre drama of the First World War in East Africa unfolded. This was the campaign that served as the background for Forester's "African Queen"; a colonial war in which a handful of native troops superbly commanded by Colonel von Lettow-Vorbeck held back a 250,000-man British army for more than four years. Desperately needed on the battlefields of Europe, the British troops were stalled in Africa almost solely by the strength of the German colonel's will. It might be said that von Lettow determined the timetable for World War I."
