Calvert surveys the German colony of Kamerun as the First World War brought it to an end: its discovery and exploration, the push into the interior, the boundaries and towns, the progress of the protectorate, its geography, geology and climate, and the palm-oil trade on which so many inhabitants depended. Many photographs illustrate the text.
