• Sommario/riassunto: This book, 'Askaris, Asymmetry, and Small Wars: Operational Art and the German East African Campaign, 1914-1918' by Major Kenneth P. Adgie, examines the application of operational art by Lieutenant Colonel Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck in the East African campaign during World War I. The study analyzes how Lettow-Vorbeck employed asymmetric tactics to counter the numerically superior British forces. The monograph explores the strategic objectives, operational maneuvers, and logistic strategies used to maintain mobility and disrupt British operations. It draws parallels between the East African campaign and modern military challenges, highlighting the relevance of operational art in asymmetric warfare. The book is intended for military scholars and historians interested in World War I and operational military strategy.
