Peter Moor's Journey to Southwest Africa: A Narrative of the German Campaign is a historical account of the German colonization of Southwest Africa in the early 20th century. Written by German author Gustav Frenssen and published in 1908, the book follows the journey of Peter Moor, a young German soldier who is sent to Africa to fight in the colonial war against the Herero and Nama peoples.The book provides a first-hand account of the brutal tactics used by the German military in their attempt to subjugate the indigenous populations, including mass killings and forced relocation. Frenssen also explores the psychological toll that the war takes on the soldiers, as well as the racial and cultural prejudices that underpinned the German colonial project.Despite its sympathetic portrayal of the German soldiers, the book has been criticized for its glorification of colonialism and its failure to fully acknowledge the atrocities committed against the Herero and Nama peoples. Nonetheless, Peter Moor's Journey to Southwest Africa remains an important historical document that sheds light on the complex and often violent history of European colonization in Africa.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
