Sommario/riassunto

The year 2004 marks the centenary of the outbreak of the Namibian war against German rule. It is intended that this annotated re-publication of the suppressed ""Blue Book"" - a rare document of African voices describing their encounter with a colonial power - will be a memorial to those that died.
