Benin: The City of Blood is a historical account written by Reginald Bacon, detailing the infamous Benin Expedition of 1897. The book describes the events leading up to the expedition, the violent conflict that ensued, and the subsequent looting and destruction of the ancient city of Benin in present-day Nigeria. Bacon provides a detailed analysis of the political and cultural context of the Benin Kingdom, as well as the motivations and actions of the British forces involved in the invasion. The book also includes illustrations and photographs of the city and its artifacts prior to their destruction. Overall, Benin: The City of Blood offers a comprehensive and critical perspective on the colonial history of West Africa and the devastating impact of European imperialism on indigenous cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
