"East Africa, Tribal and Imperial Armies in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar, 1800 to 1900"
by Chris Peers, published by Foundry Books in the "Armies of the Nineteenth Century" series -
The only real military history of this time and place, with over 100 line drawings, packed with
otherwise difficult to find information.
"The Warrior Mullah, The Horn Aflame 1892-1920" by Ray Beachey , published by Bellew Publishing 1990"
- The only detailed account I've found of the British campaigns against the Somalis – a traditional
military account, good on the British but weak on the Somalis.
