‘Written in an unaffectedly light and humorous style.’—The World.
‘A very racy and eminently readable book.’—St. James’s Gazette.
‘As a straightforward account of a great deal of plucky work unpretentiously done, this book is well worth reading. The simplicity of the narrative is all in its favour, and accords in a peculiarly English fashion with the nature of the subject.’—Times.
Captain Hinde. THE FALL OF THE CONGO ARABS. By Sidney L. Hinde. With Portraits and Plans. Demy 8vo. 12s. 6d.
‘The book is full of good things, and of sustained interest.’—St. James’s Gazette.
‘A graphic sketch of one of the most exciting and important episodes in the struggle for supremacy in Central Africa between the Arabs and their Europeon rivals. Apart from the story of the campaign, Captain Hinde’s book is mainly remarkable for the fulness with which he discusses the question of cannibalism. It is, indeed, the only connected narrative—in English, at any rate—which has been published of this particular episode in African history.’—Times.
